[audiobook] The Home Recording Handbook: Use What You've Got to Make Great Music (Book CD) by Dave Hunter in Arts-Photography

Description

Through interviews with three generations of Yalaacute;lag Zapotecs (ldquo;Yalaacute;ltecosrdquo;) in Los Angeles and Yalaacute;lag; Oaxaca; this book examines the impact of international migration on this community. It traces five decades of migration to Los Angeles in order to delineate migration patterns; community formation in Los Angeles; and the emergence of transnational identities of the first and second generations of Yalaacute;lag Zapotecs in the United States; exploring why these immigrants and their descendents now think of themselves as Mexican; Mexican Indian immigrants; Oaxaquentilde;os; and Latinosmdash;identities they did not claim in Mexico.Based on multi-site fieldwork conducted over a five-year period; Adriana Cruz-Manjarrez analyzes how and why Yalaacute;lag Zapotec identity and culture have been reconfigured in the United States; using such cultural practices as music; dance; and religious rituals as a lens to bring this dynamic process into focus. By illustrating the sociocultural; economic; and political practices that link immigrants in Los Angeles to those left behind; the book documents how transnational migration has reflected; shaped; and transformed these practices in both their place of origin and immigration.
