Viva Chicano Setting

Viva Chicano is set in the 1960s in a sprawling ghetto, known as "Dogtown," of an unnamed California city modeled after Los Angeles. Ironically, the "Mexican-American district" of Dogtown, where Keeny lives, is called Happy Valley. Even the most energetic attempts toward beautification fail in the climate of despair and decay that pervades Happy Valley.
