Listening To Rosita: The Business Of Tejana Music And Culture, 1930Û1955 (Volume 9) (Race And Culture In The American West Series)

In Listening to Rosita, Villarreal seeks answers by pursuing the story of a small group of Tejana singers and entrepreneurs in Corpus Christi, Houston, and San Antonio--the "Texas Triangle"--during the mid-twentieth century. Ultimately she recovers a social world and cultural landscape in central south Texas where Mexican American women negotiated the shifting boundaries of race and economics to assert a public presence.
