Week 10: Aspect to zoot suits

        Analyzing the research of the article "From Zoot suits to Hip Hop: Towards a relational Chicana studies” by Luis Alvarez and the abstract of the article and traces on the main focuses like race and the cultural exchange between Chicana/o and Latin. These focuses also trace the African American and Asian American since the World War II. Moving forward, the zoot suits had a trace of civil rights movement art and the hip hop culture.

        In my opinion, the pieces of culture and racism are hard functioning and struggle with dignity.  Looking over the research article that was written at San Diego, CA and my responding to the article are informed by ethnicity and racism in the world and going back to history of the civil war. While I was reading page after page it started to get difficult as I read through the research paper. It was on ideas that were hard to comprehend and first. The wording and the statements said in the research article are much formatted and gives excellent support on each topic that was written about in the article. Also, the reading of the article would get difficult when they are using Spanish words in the mix of English, especially for non-Spanish speakers. As I kept reading, the article was getting easier and more understandable to read. It would go both ways until I got to the very end of the story. It was actually becoming very interesting; I was reading and learning stuff I never even knew.

        Talking about racism and people’s culture and their identity is a huge topic that could continue on a conversation for a long period of time. Talking about different people and presidents with different race is a very interesting conversation to talk about. Furthermore, the article goes on about the world and culture and the globalization. Also talks about topics like with World War II as stated before and the youth culture of the terrain academia. The music and the “oldies” are from a before in time when they had a different sound affect and different clothing.  The men from the zoot suits had old fashion hats with the long slacks and a suit jacket on the upper part. They sang away because their culture and dignity showed that they were a famous group. The singers had canes that were used on stage also and added a feature to their appearance. The crowd and public loved the zoot suits overall. They were all surrounding the research of the teaching interests include a race and ethnicity also posted in the World War II popular culture and social movements act.

        The research article made my thinking and knowledge more prepared to write my research paper for my English class. Learning, reading, and the format of an example of a research article to show is how it should be done and the type of information and research was put together. Reading the racism and culture in the world and in the past has opened my mind more clearly about these topics.
