Book Description

0231112750 978-0231112758 July 15, 2001 0

New York is the capital of mambo and a global factory of latinidad. This book covers the topic in all its multifaceted aspects, from Jim Crow baseball in the first half of the twentieth century to hip hop and ethno-racial politics, from Latinas and labor unions to advertising and Latino culture, from Cuban cuisine to the language of signs in New York City.

Together the articles map out the main conceptions of Latino identity as well as the historical process of Latinization of New York. Mambo Montage is both a way of imagining latinidad and an angle of vision on the city.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Needless to say, this collection will find a respectable place within the booming cultural studies industry.

The anthology is very good, and recommended for academic readers at most levels.

Review

A brilliant political postmodernist take on the mambo. I find it essential.
