Reviews

"A valuable contribution to Latino/a cultural studies. Cepeda's book expands the traditional boundaries by focusing on Colombianos' transnational identity through popular music. Cepeda's sophisticated, critical, and compelling arguments locate popular music as an alternative to violence in the social imaginaries of and about Colombianos. Erudite, rigorously researched, and accessibly written." Frances R. Aparicio, author of Listening to Salsa
