"Rock
the Nation: Latino Identities and the Latin Rock Dispora"
by Roberto Avant-Mier
Continuum International Publishing Group (2010)
Contains a large
section on Lalo Guerrero, pachuco music, the Chicano garage rock
bands of the 60s, Chicano punk, and rock music in Mexico.
This is a scholarly look at the influence and contributions made
by Latino(a) musical artists.
In the authors' own words, "the Latin/o Rock
Diaspora illuminates complex identity issues and interesting
paradoxes with regard to identity politics, such as nationalism.
Latino/as use rock music for assimilation to mainstream North
American culture, while in Latin America, rock music in Spanish
is used to resist English and the hegemony of U.S. culture.
Meanwhile, singing in English and adopting U.S. popular culture
allows youth to resist the hegemonic nationalisms of their own
countries. Thus, throughout the Americas, Latino/as utilize rock
music for assimilation to mainstream national culture(s), for
resistance to the hegemony of dominant culture(s), and for
mediating the negotiation of Latino/a identities."
