A Critique of the - "Obvious Imperialist" --Conclusions --Notes --Bibliography --Permission Credits --IndexThis powerful study shows how America's biggest export, rock and roll, became a major influence in Mexican politics, society, and culture. From the arrival of Elvis in Mexico during the 1950's to the emergence of a full-blown counterculture movement by the late 1960's, Eric Zolov uses rock and roll to illuminate Mexican history through these charged decades and into the 1970's. This fascinating narrative traces the rechanneling of youth energies away from political protest in the wake of the 1968 student movement and into counterculture rebellion, known as La Onda (The Wave). Refried Elvis accounts for the events of 1968 and their aftermath by revealing a mounting crisis of patriarchal values, linked both to the experience of modernization during the 1950's and 1960's and to the limits of cultural nationalism as promoted by a one-party state. Through an engrossing analysis of music and film, as well as fanzines, newspapers, government documents, company reports, and numerous interviews, Zolov shows how rock music culture became a volatile commodity force, whose production and consumption strategies were shaped by intellectuals, state agencies, transnational and local capital, musicians, and fans alike. More than a history of Mexican rock and roll, Zolov's study demonstrates the politicized nature of culture under authoritarianism, and offers a nuanced discussion of the effects of cultural imperialism that deepens our understanding of gender relations, social hierarchies, and the very meanings of national identity in a transnational era.Rise of the Mexican countercultureYouth movementsMexicoMexico CityHistory20th centuryRock musicMexicoHistory and criticismMusicSocial aspectsMexicoHistory20th centuryPolitics and cultureMexicoHistory20th centurySocial valuesMexicoHistory20th centuryNationalismMexicoHistory20th centuryMexicoCivilization20th centuryMexicoPolitics and government1946-1970MexicoPolitics and government1970-1988Electronic books.Youth movementsHistoryRock musicHistory and criticism.MusicSocial aspectsHistoryPolitics and cultureHistorySocial valuesHistoryNationalismHistory972.08/3Zolov Eric906682MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455062203321Refried Elvis2457352UNINA
