Two youngsters smuggled a fifth of Bacardi across the Mexican border into the United States. They became intoxicated and a violent scuffle broke out at a football game and one of the youths was badly injured. And the perpetrator was arrested for assault. The court sentenced the youngster to reform school. There he incurred a testicular injury while trying to protect another youngster from a sexual assault. The injury healed, but the effects were long lasting. He tried to conceal his condition. Sexual issues followed the young man into his first marriage. Misfortune continued to plague the young man. His lovely wife was killed in a traffic accident. Upon recovery from his grief, he moved on to another relationship and received an unwelcome surprise. The sterility which had caused so much anguish in his life, was replaced by an unexpected pregnancy. The girl in question came from a strict Mexican American family who would not appreciate a illegitimate child. Some efforts were made to abort the child, but in vain. Nature did not forget the aborting efforts. A son was born horribly deformed. The child lived for thirty long days. His demise was a welcome relief, but the impact would take years to overcome. The marriage dissolved, but the memory still lingers. And it all came from an illegal bottle of Bacardi.

When the Zoot Suit Riots ignited in Los Angeles in 1943, they quickly became headline news across the country. At their center was a series of attacks by U.S. Marines and sailors on young Mexican American men who dressed in distinctive suits and called themselves pachucos. The media of the day portrayed these youths as miscreants and hoodlums. Even though the outspoken First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, quickly labeled them victims of race riots, the initial portrayal has distorted images ever since. A surprising amount of scholarship has reinforced those images, writes Laura Cummings, proceeding from what she calls “the deviance school of thought.” This innovative study examines the pachuco phenomenon in a new way. Exploring its growth in Tucson, Arizona, the book combines ethnography, history, and sociolinguistics to contextualize the early years of the phenomenon, its diverse cultural roots, and its language development in Tucson. Unlike other studies, it features first-person research with men and women who—despite a wide span of ages—self-identify as pachucos and pachucas. Through these interviews and her archival research, the author finds that pachuco culture has deep roots in Tucson and the Southwest. And she discovers the importance of the pachuco/caló language variety to a shared sense of pachuquismo. Further, she identifies previously neglected pachuco ties to indigenous Indian languages and cultures in Mexico and the United States. Cummings stresses that the great majority of people conversant with the culture and language do not subscribe to the dynamics of contemporary hardcore gangs, but while zoot suits are no longer the rage today, the pachuco language and sensibilities do live on in Mexican American communities across the Southwest and throughout the United States.

Pachuco: Out of El Segundo Barrio is a narrative of early experiences of the author which reflects many events that were common to the Chicano community of his time (roughly 1925 - 1950). But it also extends beyond that, and is supported by many appropriate instances of the greater history that impacted his family circle along with the greater Chicano community. The setting of the account is largely in the city of El Paso, termed by the Chicano locals as El Pachuco. Possibly more significant in indicating the nature of this account is that the more specific place of his residence was El Segundo Barrio, as the Second Ward area of the city was known to the Mexican-derived part of the El Paso population. The narration proceeds from the author's birth through his pre-school years, elementary school, high school, naval service in World War II, and finally through his undergraduate years in college.

“The most incisive analytic study yet produced by a Chicano scholar . . . Mazón looks at the bloody incidents that erupted in Los Angeles during June, 1943.” —California History Los Angeles, the summer of 1943. For ten days in June, Anglo servicemen and civilians clashed in the streets of the city with young Mexican Americans whose fingertip coats and pegged, draped trousers announced their rebellion. At their height, the riots involved several thousand men and women, fighting with fists, rocks, sticks, and sometimes knives. In the end none were killed, few were seriously injured, and property damage was slight and yet, even today, the zoot-suit riots are remembered and hold emotional and symbolic significance for Mexican Americans and Anglos alike. The causes of the rioting were complex, as Mazón demonstrates in this illuminating analysis of their psychodynamics. Based in part on previously undisclosed FBI and military records, this engrossing study goes beyond sensational headlines and biased memories to provide an understanding of the zoot-suit riots in the context of both Mexican American and Anglo social history. “The latest scholarly work to probe the significance of the brawls that erupted in Los Angeles between uniformed servicemen and young Mexican-Americans in June, 1943 . . . Mazon’s contribution is a psychohistory of the riots in which he concludes that they were not as dangerous, or even riotous, as often portrayed.” —Los Angeles Times “In the nascent field of Chicano history psychohistorical studies are not abundant. Thus Mazón makes an immense contribution to the study of the Mexican American.” —American Historical Review
