Timothy Brennan, Secular Devotion: Afro-Latin Music and Imperial Jazz Verso, 2008
Afro-Latin music is a multi-million dollar industry, but according to Timothy Brennan, it speaks to a world outside of the relations of the market and that's what makes it irresistible. Brennan talks about cultural resistance, the Afro-Cuban roots music known as the son, and the pioneering scholarship of Cuban novelist Alejo Carpentier.
