2. How does rasquachismo relate more to the working class Mexican?
3. The sensibility of rasquachismo was codified in the novel Las Aventuras de Don Chipote, by Daniel Venegas in 1928. How did rasquachismo take off from this point prior to the Chicano movement in the 1960's?
4. How did the Chicano Movement in the 1960's reinvigorate the stance and style of rasquachismo?
5. How have Chicano youth conserved and redefined rasquachismo?
6. In the article "con safos" is described as a sign of pride, defiance, and self identity amongst urban youth. How do you interpret "con safos" and how is it a central rasquache symbol?
