Writing Selves: David Mura and Ben Fong-Torres
No full textBen Fong-Torres' memoir, The Rice Room, is subtitled Growing Up Chinese-American—From Number Two Son to Rock 'N' Roll. Fong-Torres' title suggests a trajectory of identity formation from second generation Chinese American son to a position of centrality within that most American of cultural forms, rock 'n' roll. The title of David Mura's Turning Japanese, Memoirs of a Sansei suggests the complications of identity and identification that occurred when the third-generation Japanese American Mura journeyed to Japan. In both titles the explicit allusion to movement suggests the fluidity and mutability of identity, and the rigidity of racial ethnic essentialism. This is one of the central conundrums of postcolonial discourse. Because hegemonic America is obsessed with constructing and maintaining fixed identities (for the purpose of social order and control), narratives about identity provide a glimpse into the machinery which reifies the categorization of identity. Simultaneously, one of the on-going streams in contemporary theory is an analysis of the ways that narratives destabilize the notion of the immutability of identity

Willin' the story of Little Feat
No full text"The saga of the legendary Los Angeles band Little Feat is one of rock 'n' roll's great stories. Formed in 1969 by ex-members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, Little Feat created groove-heavy music that was an irresistible mix of rock, blues, R&B, country, jazz, soul, and funk. Fronted by the charismatic but doomed vocalist and brilliant slide guitarist Lowell George, the band recorded such classic studio albums as Sailin' Shoes and Dixie Chicken, as well as Waiting for Columbus, which many consider to be one of the best live albums of all time. Acclaimed journalist Ben Fong-Torres...working with Little Feat's surviving members, their friends, and associates...wrote Willin' based on hours of brand new interviews with the key players. The result? The first definitive biography of this beloved rock 'n' roll institution.".
