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"-- Provided by publisher.
