From Wikipedia -- Rasquache is the English form of the Spanish term rascuache,[1] of Nahuatl origin[citation needed], which originally had a negative connotation in Mexico as being an attitude that was lower class or impoverished. This definition was later reversed by a Mexican and Chicano arts movement which transformed the have-not sensibility into a specific artistic aesthetic, "Rasquachismo," suited to overcoming material and professional limitations faced by artists in the movement. It is the "view of the underdog, which combines inventiveness with a survivalist attitude." [2][3] [4]Rasquache art uses the most basic, simplest, quickest, and crudest means necessary to create the desired expression, in essence, creating the most from the least. The term can also be used to reference the bicultural inspiration from which these artists draw inspiration.
