Each essay, written by a leading scholar of Latin American music, covers the major figures, styles, and social contexts of popular music in Latin America and provides adequate context so readers understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance. The book first presents a general description of the history and background of popular music, followed by essays organized into thematic sections: Theoretical Issues; Transnational Scenes; Local and National Scenes; Class, Identity, and Politics; and Gendered Scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book constitutes not only a key contribution to the field of Latin American music studies as a whole, but it also responds directly to the pressing need of making the work of Latin American scholars available to Anglophone readers. As the editors point out, the academic production of a vast portion of Latin American scholars remains unknown in the Anglophone academy. While highlighting the sophisticated ideas of leading authors in the field, the book offers a robust intellectual ground to counterbalance Anglophone readers' ideas about the music and the academic production of the region. This book would be a very useful addition to upper-undergraduate or graduate courses on Latin American music or Latin American music scholarship. It would also be an ideal point of entry for scholars interested in engaging with the field and with their colleagues south of the border. Taken together with other recently published volumes on Latin American scholarship, this book should be celebrated as another important brick for the construction of a bridge between the Latin American and Anglophone academies.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e— \u003cem\u003eJournal of Folklore Research\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeries Foreword. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface. \u003c\/em\u003eIntroduction: Debating Genre, Class and Identity: Popular Music and Music Scenes from the Latin American World \u003cem\u003eJulio Mendívil and Christian Spencer Espinosa\u003c\/em\u003e PART I: MUSIC SCENES AND HISTORICAL ISSUES 1.
