Decolonial Metal Music in Latin America

The long-lasting effects of colonialism are still present throughout Latin America. Racism, political persecution, ethnic extermination and extreme capitalism are some salient examples. This new book explores how heavy metal music in the region has been used to critically challenge the historical legacy of colonialism and its present-day manifestations.\nThrough extensive ethnographic research in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, Chile and Argentina, Varas-Diaz documents how metal music listeners and musicians engage in 'extreme decolonial dialogues' as a strategy to challenge past and ongoing forms of oppression. This allows readers to see metal music in a different light and as a call for justice in Latin America.\nHeavy metal related scholarship\n\nDecolonial Metal Music in Latin America\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery with Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price ad;
