General
I'm just a simple graduate student interested in Chicana/o Studies, delinquency, alterNATIVE epistomologies, spirituality, authentic jazz dance, Asian and Pacific Islander culture and history, and revolutionary acts of liberation.
Music
Some of the influential musicians in my life are Billie Holliday, Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw, Don Tosti, Lalo Guerrero, Earl Bostic, Charlie Barnet, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Lunceford, Slam Stewart, Milt Hinton, Cab Calloway, Django Reinhardt, Oscar Aleman, Ruth Brown, Wynonie Harris, "Little" Richard Penniman, J.R. Cash, Chuck Higgins, Big Jay McNeely, LaVern Baker, Jack McVea, Dizzy Gillespie, Lucky Millander, Etta James, Illinois Jacquet, and Rick James.
Movies
I like Hollywood blockbusters based on comic books and period flicks just to see how accurate they are.
Television
I watch a lot of television, mostly the trash they show on Vh-1 specials and Comedy Central.
Books
As a graduate student, I pretty much read books for a living. Here's a list of authors I recommend you get familiar with: Gloria Anzaldua, Frantz Fanon, Gayatri Spivak, Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Antonio Gramsci, Edward Said, Michel Foucault, Katherine Sue Ramirez, Grant Morrison, Emma Perez, Rudolfo Acuna, Luis Rodriguez, Luis Alvarez, Yolanda Broyles Gonzales, and Nicholas Centino.
