Since the 1990s, Spanish-\u003cbr\u003elanguage radio has dethroned English-language radio stations in major cities\u003cbr\u003eacross the United States, taking over the number one spot in Los Angeles, \u003cbr\u003eHouston, Miami, and New York City. Investigating the cultural and political\u003cbr\u003ehistory of U.S. Spanish-language broadcasts throughout the twentieth century, Sounds\u003cbr\u003eof Belonging reveals how these changes have helped Spanish-language radio\u003cbr\u003esecure its dominance in the major U.S. radio markets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBringing together theories on the immigration experience with\u003cbr\u003esound and radio studies, Dolores Inés Casillas documents\u003cbr\u003ehow Latinos form listening relationships with Spanish-language radio\u003cbr\u003eprogramming. Using a vast array of sources, from print culture and industry\u003cbr\u003ejournals to sound archives of radio programming, she reflects on institutional\u003cbr\u003egrowth, the evolution of programming genres, and reception by the radio\u003cbr\u003eindustry and listeners to map the trajectory of Spanish-language radio, from\u003cbr\u003eits grassroots origins to the current corporate-sponsored business it has\u003cbr\u003ebecome. Casillas focuses on Latinos' use of Spanish-language radio to help\u003cbr\u003enavigate their immigrant experiences with U.S. institutions, for example in\u003cbr\u003ebroadcasting discussions about immigration policies while providing anonymity\u003cbr\u003efor a legally vulnerable listenership. Sounds of Belonging proposes that\u003cbr\u003edebates of citizenship are not always formal personal appeals but a collective\u003cbr\u003eexperience heard loudly through broadcast radio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dolores Ines Casillas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 5.66w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814770245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2015 pg. 1646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCasillas, Dolores Ines:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eDolores Inés Casillas\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies and Director of the Chicano Studies Institute (CSI) at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
