Summary
New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with Professor Eduardo Pagán about the Zoot Suit Riots in the summer of 1943. A professor of history at Arizona State University, Eduardo paints a very detailed picture of the rapidly changing social, economic and racial identity of wartime Los Angeles leading up to the riots. And he reflects on the importance of what Jazz and the Suit Zoot represented for a changing America. Afterward, Patreon Subscribers can tune in for the post interview breakdown and see whether or not Professor Pagán said something to alter the final verdict.
