Just musing on the cavalcade of themes in this season of #PerryMason. In addition to the moody #noir pastiche aesthetic, we have a delightfully messy #lesbian romance, a pre-Zoot Suit uprising storyline about corrupt legal scapegoating of #MexicanAmericans, a complex plot about #BlackLA and its social dynamics of #class and #gender, and the #JohnGarfield-esque simmering righteous White guy and his rebellion against social pressure to be aspirational and upwardly mobile. Oh and at the heart of the crime might be #oil. Somebody should unpack all this and write about it....

"For the first production of its kind by a national commercial television network, several of California’s first Chicano Studies professors were recruited to examine history and culture from the Chicano perspective as well as to explore contemporary issues facing the Mexican American community."

" '#BadMexicans'— that’s what the revolutionaries of 1910 were called as they fought on both sides of the US-#Mexico border against the #RobberBarons and their political allies. UCLA historian #KellyLytleHernández tells that story and talks about her book on race, empire, and revolution in the borderlands."

As an example, putting people into #Latinx erases #Chicano culture, an identity for many #MexicanAmericans in the USA. Chicano identity emerged among anti-assimilationist youth, some of whom belonged to the Pachuco subculture, who claimed the term (which had previously been a classist and racist slur.) Chicano was widely reclaimed in the 1960s and 1970s to express political empowerment, ethnic solidarity, and pride in being of Indigenous descent.
