Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the influence of Soul music, this book explores its role in popularizing the Black Power movement within Afro-Latin American communities during the 1960s and 1970s. It highlights the connections between geographically and linguistically diverse afro-diasporic groups in their fight against white supremacy. Through field research and interviews with musicians, DJs, and activists in New York, Rio de Janeiro, and Panama, it offers new insights into the solidarity networks and cultural exchanges that shaped the struggles for emancipation across the Americas.
