A YA novel in verse about the Zoot Suit Riots or as the author pointed out, the Sailor Riots in 1940‘s Los Angeles. I wasn‘t born yet but being Mexican and living in the suburbs of LA I‘ve always been aware of the riots and the Sleepy Lagoon murder. Was a nice change of pace to read something about this event from different perspectives.
pickHF novel in verse about the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943 in Los Angeles…but it should have been called Sailors‘ Riot. Jazz Owls refer to young Mexican women who toiled all day in the factories, then (night owls) stayed up to jazz dance with their zoot-suited friends, brothers, and boyfriends. One night the drunk & violent sailors brutalized the young men mercilessly. Of course the military denied reality, blaming the young dancers for starting it…
