Summary:

"Musicians' Migratory Patterns: American-Mexican Border Lands approaches the work and ideology of a large array of immigrant Mexican composers based in different regions of the US. It analyzes the extent that their immigrant status is a key factor to nourish, inform, and propel their musical and artistic concerns. The book uncovers pure and fresh forms of musical expression that broaden the multicultural map of Mexico. It helps the reader to appreciate the aesthetics and technical achievements of original music works and their innovative performances, with artistic and pedagogical implications that frame a vivid picture of the contemporary Mexican as immigrant creator in the USA. The ongoing massive displacement of Mexicans into the USA not only affects the economic constitution of America but continuously shapes the social, cultural, and intellectual configurations of this country, in which numerous Mexican artists contribute their artistic and academic work -- thereby enriching American society. Immigrant Mexican composers and their reflective musical expressions, as this research will describe, are instrumental to the forming of a self-critical society impelled to value and embrace its own diversity, despite conflicting political reactions on the complex subject of legal and illegal immigration"-- Provided by publisher.
