In this book, the authors propose a multilayered reading of contemporary transnational cultural manifestations in which it is possible to recognize challenges and cultural strategies that transnational Mexican communities conceive in order to claim cultural, political and social agency.

An innovative application of four social types-the downtrodden Peladita/Peladito and the zoot-suited Pachuca/Pachuco-that illuminates working-class subjects in a broad spectrum of Mexican and Mexican American cultural production.
