Gustavo Arellano reviewed Anthony Macías's Mexican American Mojo and Heather Levi's The World of Lucha Libre in Sunday's Los Angeles Times. Arellano says that Macías's book is filled with "riches of information -- dates, names, long-gone establishments like Venice's Aragon Ballroom and the Trianon" and "reams of trivia with interviews of musicians and people who lived
through the era, adding their voices to the history of Los Angeles." He calls Levi's book "entertaining," saying the book 'entertains, informs and breezes by." So check out these fascinating books about Mexican American popular culture for yourself.
