Summary:	"Made in NuYoRico traces the cross-cultural history of salsa within New York's diasporic Puerto Rican communities, interrogating salsa's use of the Nuyorican imaginary. Drawing on ethnographic interviews and a diverse archive of primary sources, Marisol Negrón explores how salsa's Nuyorican musical and non-musical practices produced an alternative public sphere that acted as a crucible for cultural expression and political rebellion. Covering the 50-year period between 1964-2014, the book follows salsa's social life, from the early days of revelry and aesthetic development characterized by the music label Fania Records, to the afterlife of the salsa boom that informed commercial, legal, and social imaginaries in both Puerto Rico and the United States. Through this historical mapping and contextualization of salsa, Negrón demonstrates how New York's diasporic Puerto Rican communities contested colonial power and the trauma of displacement with creative agency"--

Description
Summary:	In Made in NuYoRico , Marisol Negrón tells the cultural history of salsa, tracing the music's Nuyorican meanings over a fifty-year period that begins with the establishment of Fania Records in 1964 and how it capitalized on salsa's Nuyorican imaginary to cultivate a global audience. Drawing on interviews with fans, legendary musicians, and music industry figures as well as analyses of songs, albums, films, and archival documents, Negrón shows how Nuyorican cultural and social histories became embedded in and impacted salsa music's flows during its foundational period in the mid-1960s and its boom in the 1970s. Salsa's Nuyorican aesthetics challenged mainstream notions of Americanness and Puerto Ricanness and produced an alternative public sphere through which New York's poor and working-class Puerto Ricans could contest racialization and colonial power. By outlining salsa's complicated musical, cultural, commercial, racial, gendered, legal, and political entanglements, Negrón demonstrates its centrality to Nuyorican identity and subjectivity.
