Poor. Berkeley. 2010. 7/15/2010. University of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780520262836. 281 pages. paperback. keywords: Latin America History Music Ethnic Studies Ethnomusicology. DESCRIPTION-Long a taboo subject among critics, rhythm finally takes center stage in this book's dazzling, wide-ranging examination of diverse black cultures across the New World. Martin Munro traces the central-and contested-role of music in shaping identities, politics, social history, and artistic expression. Starting with enslaved African musicians, Munro takes us to Haiti, Trinidad, the French Caribbean, and the civil rights era in the United States. Along the way, he highlights such figures as Toussaint Louverture, Jacques Roumain, Jean Price-Mars, the Mighty Sparrow, Aime Cesaire, Edouard Glissant, Joseph Zobel, Daniel Maximin, James Brown, and Amiri Baraka. Bringing to light new connections among black cultures, Munro shows how rhythm has been both a persistent marker of race and a dynamic force for change at virtually every major turning point in black New World history. Music of the African Diaspora, 14. inventory #37752.
