In Made in NuYoRico, Marisol Negron tells the cultural history of salsa that traces the music's Nuyorican meanings over a fifty-year period that begins with the establishment of Fania Records in 1964 and how it capitalized on salsa's Nuyorican imaginary to cultivate a global audience. Drawing on interviews with fans, legendary musicians, and music industry figures as well as analyses of songs, albums, film, and archival documents, Negron shows how Nuyorican cultural and social histories became embedded in salsa during its foundational period of the mid-1960s and its boom in the 1970s and impacted the music's flows. Salsa's Nuyorican aesthetics challenged mainstream notions of Americanness and Puerto Ricanness and produced an alternative public sphere through which New York's poor and working-class Puerto Ricans could contest racialization and colonial power. By outlining salsa's complicated musical, cultural, commercial, racial, gendered, legal, and political entanglements, Negron demonstrates its centrality to Nuyorican identity and subjectivity.
Industry Reviews
"Marisol Negron outlines how salsa music is both an expression of Puerto Rican identity and a shaping force of that identity, so that the two cannot be understood without each other. A provocative, meticulously researched book loaded with historical detail and original insight, Made in NuYoRico will be a go-to book in the study of salsa." -- Josh Kun, author of * Audiotopia: Music, Race, and America *
"Understanding salsa as a cultural and transnational product born of and tied to place and time, Marisol Negron makes an urgently needed intervention into the study of a musical genre that has been addressed primarily as a cultural text with little connection to history and particular communities. This book is a key archive of Latinx studies and a beautiful tribute to Nuyorican history." -- Arlene Davila, author of * Latinx Art: Artists, Markets, and Politics *
