Tracing musicology in Latin American during the twentieth century, this book presents case studies to illustrate how Latin American music has interacted with social and global processes. The book addresses such topics as popular music, post-colonialism, women in Latin American music, tradition and modernity, musical counterculture, globalization, and identity construction through music. It contributes to the development of paradigms of cultural analysis that originated outside of Latin America by testing them in the Latin American musical context, while also exploring how specifically Latin American models can contribute to broader cultural analysis.

Every chapter in this latest book by prominent Latin American musicologist Juan Pablo González stands on its own, from his expert yet accessible analysis of trends in Latin American musicology to his discussion of the Chilean counter-fusion band Fulano. Woven together as they are in this collection, the theoretical essays and case studies are equally thought-provoking as they are curiosity inspiring. This volume is an indispensable read for all those with an interest in Latin American music and its study.
