""Bravo! This critical gloss of Latin American music scholarship and compendium of works by Latin American scholars is much needed, long overdue, well-conceived, and well-informed.""--Daniel Sheehy, Director and Curator, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings ""I love this book. A major contribution to Latin American research--in both ethnomusicology and musicology--as well as related fields such as anthropology, sociology, political science, and gender studies.""--Craig Russell, author of From Serra to Sancho: Music and Pageantry in the California MissionsPublished in collaboration with the Society for Ethnomusicology
