Explore tips, opinions, and features on Murder at the Sleepy Lagoon sold at 24.33 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
The notorious 1942 Sleepy Lagoon murder trial in Los Angeles concluded with the conviction of seventeen young Mexican American men for the alleged gang slaying of fellow youth Jose Diaz Just five months later the socalled Zoot Suit Riot erupted as white soldiers in the city attacked minority youths and burned their distinctive zoot suits Eduardo Obregon Pagan here provides the first comprehensive social history of both the trial and the riot and argues that they resulted from a volatile mix of racial and social tensions that had long been simmeringIn reconstructing the lives of the murder victim and those accused of the crime Pagan contends that neither the convictions which were based on little hard evidence nor the ensuing riot arose simply from antiMexican sentiment He demonstrates instead that a variety of preexisting stresses including demographic pressures anxiety about nascent youth culture and the war effort all contributed to the social tension and the eruption of violence Moreover he recovers a multidimensional picture of Los Angeles during World War II that incorporates the complex intersections of music fashion violence race relations and neighborhood activism Drawing upon overlooked evidence Pagan concludes by reconstructing the murder scene and proposes a compelling theory about what really happened the night of the murder

ZOOT SUIT n the ultimate in clothes The only totally and truly American civilian suitCab Calloway The Hepsters Dictionary 1944Before the fashion statements of hippies punks or hiphop there was the zoot suit a striking urban look of the World War II era that captivated the imagination Created by poor African American men and obscure tailors the drape shape was embraced by Mexican American pachucos workingclass youth entertainers and swing dancers yet condemned by the US government as wasteful and unpatriotic in a time of war The fashion became notorious when it appeared to trigger violence and disorder in Los Angeles in 1943events forever known as the zoot suit riot In its wake social scientists psychiatrists journalists and politicians all tried to explain the riddle of the zoot suit transforming it into a multifaceted symbol to some a sign of social deviance and psychological disturbance to others a gesture of resistance against racial prejudice and discrimination As controversy swirled at home young men in other placesFrench zazous South African tsotsi Trinidadian saga boys and Russian stiliagimade the American zoot suit their ownIn Zoot Suit historian Kathy Peiss explores this extreme fashion and its mysterious career during World War II and after as it spread from Harlem across the United States and around the world She traces the unfolding history of this style and its importance to the youth who adopted it as their uniform and at the same time considers the way public figures experts political activists and historians have interpreted it This outré style was a turning point in the way we understand the meaning of clothing as an expression of social conditions and power relations Zoot Suit offers a new perspective on youth culture and the politics of style tracing the seam between fashion and social action
