But, while many people in the United States and Europe are familiar with musical genres such as salsa, merengue, and reggaetón, the musical manifestations that young people listen to in most Latin\u003cbr\u003eAmerican countries are much more varied than these commercially successful ones that have entered the American and European markets. Not only that, the young people themselves often have little in common with the stereotypical image of them that exists in the American imagination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBridging this divide between perception and reality, \u003cem\u003eMusic and Youth Culture in Latin America\u003c\/em\u003e brings together contributors from throughout Latin America and the US to examine the ways in which music is used to advance identity claims in several Latin American countries and among Latinos in the US.\u003cbr\u003eFrom young Latin American musicians who want to participate in the vibrant jazz scene of New York without losing their cultural roots, to Peruvian rockers who sing in their native language (Quechua) for the same reasons, to the young Cubans who use music to construct a post-communist social\u003cbr\u003eidentification, this volume sheds new light on the complex ways in which music provides people from different countries and social sectors with both enjoyment and tools for understanding who they are in terms of nationality, region, race, ethnicity, class, gender, and migration status. Drawing on a\u003cbr\u003evast array of fields including popular music studies, ethnomusicology, sociology, and history, \u003cem\u003eMusic and Youth Culture in Latin America \u003c\/em\u003eis an illuminating read for anyone interested in Latin American music, culture, and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pablo Vila\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.35w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199986286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePablo Vila\u003c\/strong\u003e researches the social construction of identities on the U.S.- Mexico border and in Latin America.
