Quebradita and the pasito duranguense are more than just a passing fad; their practitioners saw it as an ethnic celebration against the oppressive and unwelcoming backdrop of anti-immigration sentiments and growing xenophobia. This is perhaps one of the most overt examples of art as a rallying cry that we've studied in this class. Hutchinson notes that the dance clubs that sponsored the quebradita provided a forum for embodying a confrontational aesthetic and a space for creating cross-cultural bridges; it is more a political gathering than mere leisure activity. How might these "bridges" affect the demographic makeup of other free assembly political meetings? Will the quebradita and other ethnic celebrations become a political weapon commonly used for campaign rallies, for example?
