Music and Social Change in Latinx Cultures, by Daniel Sheehy
The Music and Social Change in Latinx Cultures offers insights into the relationship between societal and musical change among Latinx peoples throughout the Western Hemisphere. There is a continuum of cause-and-effect relationships between music changing as a result of social change, and society changing because of the impact of music. As another variation of this continuum, people might purposefully not change traditional sounds as a form of resistance in the face of racism, hegemony, cultural coercion, or other forces of oppression, anchoring a sense of self and cultural integrity. Some of the ways to view social change in Latinx musical expressions include: Social protest, cultural and racial resistance, cohesion and empowerment, labor movements, revolution and counter-revolution, reconciliation and healing, civil rights movements, refugees and immigration, and women in traditional and contemporary music.

Funky Nassau
This book examines the role music has played in the formation of the political and national identity of the Bahamas. Timothy Rommen analyzes Bahamian musical life as it has been influenced and shaped by the islands’ location between the United States and the rest of the Caribbean; tourism; and Bahamian colonial and postcolonial history. Focusing on popular music in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, in particular rake-n-scrape and Junkanoo, Rommen finds a Bahamian music that has remained culturally rooted in the local even as it has undergone major transformations. Highlighting the ways entertainers have represented themselves to Bahamians and to tourists, Funky Nassau illustrates the shifting terrain that musicians navigated during the rapid growth of tourism and in the aftermath of independence.
