“Marisol Negrón outlines how salsa music is both an expression of Puerto Rican identity and a shaping force of that identity, so that the two cannot be understood without each other. A provocative, meticulously researched book loaded with historical detail and original insight, Made in NuYoRico will be a go-to book in the study of salsa.” -- Josh Kun, author of * Audiotopia: Music, Race, and America * “Understanding salsa as a cultural and transnational product born of and tied to place and time, Marisol Negrón makes an urgently needed intervention into the study of a musical genre that has been addressed primarily as a cultural text with little connection to history and particular communities. This book is a key archive of Latinx studies and a beautiful tribute to Nuyorican history.” -- Arlene Dávila, author of * Latinx Art: Artists, Markets, and Politics *
