Corridos in Migrant Memory - Martha I. Chew Sánchez
Call Number: FAL: ML3570 S26 2006
ISBN/ISSN: 0826334784
Corridos are ballads particular to Mexican traditions that are used to analyze or recall a particular political, cultural, and natural event important to the communities where they are performed. As part of the cultural memory, many of the most popular corridos express the immigrant experience: exploitation, surveillance, and dehumanization stemming from racism and classism of the host country. The corrido helps Mexican immigrants in the United States to humanize, dignify, and make sense of their transnational experiences as racial minorities. Corridos in Migrant Memory examines the role of corridos in shaping the cultural memories and identities of transnational Mexican groups.
