| Abstract | This collection represents the first comprehensive consideration of salsa music and its social impact from a transnational perspective. Consisting of 13 essays, this volume explores the diffusion of this popular sound from its Hispanic Caribbean origins to audiences around the world. Drawing upon interviews, field observations, oral histories, personal memoirs, archival resources, and musical analysis, the volume sheds new light on current debates about race and ethnicity, class hierarchy, gender roles, and generational differences. |
