    Food For Thought: Chicano Popular Culture

    Food For Thought: Chicano Popular Culture

    Presented by Pima County Public Library at Pima County Public Library - Joel D. Valdez Main Library

    August 26, 2010

    Presented by Dr. Charles Tatum, Professor of Spanish at the University of Arizona. Most Americans, regardless of class, race, ethnicity, national origin, or gender, are exposed daily to heavy doses of popular culture in the form of television and radio programming, cinema, and advertising. Americans of Mexican descent bring a rich history and deep appreciation of popular cultural practices to American society. This presentation will explore these practices thriving today, including: the oral tradition (corridos, folk tales, riddles and popular sayings); television; radio; newspapers; cinema; sports; civil, secular and religious celebrations; music; and popular literature. Audiences will become more familiar with the history, roots, traditions, values, attitudes and social life of the fastest growing segment of our population.
