Tracing the emergence of \u003cem\u003eAfro-Latin Soul\u003c\/em\u003e scenes among Puerto Rican youth in New York, the descendants of Caribbean labor migrants in Panama, and Rio de Janeiro s black community, the book examines how soul as genre, a style, and a discourse became an inter-American lingua franca that provided diasporic youth with a platform to express solidarity with the African American freedom struggle and a source of inspiration in their struggles against the often denied forms of anti-black racism in Latin American contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews with protagonists of Spanish Harlem s Latin Boogaloo scene, Panama s \u003cem\u003ecombos nacionales\u003c\/em\u003e and the Black Rio movement such as Joe Bataan, Benny Bonilla, Carlos Brown, Ernie King, and Dom Filó and activists such as Denise Oliver, Felipe Luciano, Melva Lowe, Alberto Barrow, Gerado Maloney and Carlos Alberto Medeiros, the multi-sited study conceives of these border-crossing dialogues as expressions of \u003cem\u003eBlack Power cosmopolitanism\u003c\/em\u003e that challenged nationalist identity discourses and the related homogenizing notions of \u003cem\u003elatinidad\u003c\/em\u003e. Bridging African American and Latin American Studies, the book opens new perspectives to scholars of hemispheric black transnationalism, popular music and social movements in the African diaspora. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatti Steinitz\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bielefeld University, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 30, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53453629030707,"sku":"9783110664508","price":169.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/afro-latin-soul-music-and-the-rise-of-black-power-cosmopolitanism-hemispheric-soulscapes-hardcover","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
