  • The Zoot-Suit and Style Warfare by Stuart Cosgrove From History Workshop Journal

  • These fellows whose bodies seemed - what had one of my teachers said of me? - 'You're like one of those African sculptures, distorted in the interest of design.' Well, what design and whose? T he zoot-suit is more than an exaggerated costume, more than a sartorial statement, it is the bearer of a complex and contradictory history

  • The zoot-suit was more than the drape-shape of 1940s fashion, more than a colourful stage-prop hanging from the shoulders of Cab Calloway, it was, in the most direct and obvious ways, an emblem of ethnicity and a way of negotiating an identiy

  • The zoot-suit was a refusal: a subcultural gesture that refused to concede to the manners of subservience

  • By the late 1930s, the term 'zoot' was in common circulation within urban jazz culture

  • Zoot meant something worn or performed in an extravagant style, and since many young blacks wore suits with outrageously padded shoulders and trousers that were fiercely tapered at the ankles, the term zoot-suit passed into everyday usage

  • In the sub-cultural world of Harlem's nightlife, the language of rhyming slang succinctly described the zoot-suit's unmistakable style: 'a killer-diller coat with a drapeshape, real-pleats and shoulders padded like a lunatic's cell



    Heroes, Hooligans, and The Zoot Suit Riots
    Article about the Zoot Suit riots of 1943.

  • Reporting on A Wartime Social Experience: Heroes, Hooligans, and The Zoot Suit Riots Paper presented at the 41st Annual Conference of the Western Social Science Association, Fort Worth, Texas, April 23, 1999

  • Abstract The Zoot Suit Riots occurred in Los Angeles over the course of ten days in June, 1943, as young conscripted American servicemen confronted the so-called 'gamin' dandies, ' young Mexican-Americans whose cultural norms were an affront to the culture of wartime America

  • Reporting on A Wartime Social Experience: Heroes, Hooligans, and The Zoot Suit Riots A lot was happening in the world in the spring of 1943

  • Over the course of ten days in June, tens of thousands of servicemen roamed the streets and sought out confrontation with young civilians in the what has come to be known as The Zoot Suit Riots

  • They've even been categorized as 'one of the crimes of the century.' The reason for the significance is simple: The Zoot Suit Riots helped America prepare to vanquish its foreign enemies by first symbolically containing and defeating a perceived 'enemy' at home

  • In so doing, they developed a social system that 'highlighted coiffure, garb, and select membership.' This social system was symbolized by the Zoot Suit



    Houndz, The
    Steve Wyrostek talks about mid-life rock.

  • Miserandino Steve talks about about being middle aged, his influences in music, starting a second life, starting a second career and basically starting over! DM) Of your fans who know you from your hit song, 'Zoot Suit Riot', how many do you think will be thrilled and how many will be disappointed by your newest record? SP) Well, that's a good question

  • Even during the year 'Zoot Suit Riot' came out, we'd throw in two or three songs, just enough that we figured we could get away with...Stuff that we wanted to play ourselves, but during that time it was all the swingsters who'd would show up, and we felt kind of obliged to play that stuff more

  • Even 'Zoot Suit Riot' wasn't pure swing, it was a fusion of rock and swing music, or at least that's how I thought of it

  • DM) Well, speaking of popularity, I recently was thinking about how, since 'Zoot Suit Riot' came out, every time I've been to a wedding or any other sort of party like that, you always hear the band play it

  • DM) Do you think that 'Zoot Suit Riot' will stand the test of 'wedding time' and be played in weddings for years to come? SP) (laughing) That's what you really want to know! I think it will be played a lot, because at least for a while, any time the generations have to meet, like at weddings and church socials, they'll play that song
