Great Reads 2024: The Jazz Age in Mexico

In the 1920s and 1930s, jazz music gained popularity across the United States and the world. Due to Prohibition, many jazz musicians relocated to Mexico, particularly border cities like Tijuana. Many American citizens also crossed the border for access to legal liquor. At the same time, Mexico was still navigating significant political and social upheaval thanks to the Mexican Revolution. This era also brought a time of cultural flourishing known as the Mexican Renaissance, marked by a revival in arts, literature, and national identity.
