A cultural study of Marc Anthony’s music

Frances R. Aparicio examines Marc Anthony’s place in Latinx popular music through the cultural, aesthetic, and political dimensions of his work. The book situates his songs within musical histories and genealogies, challenging the limits of the “Latino pop” label. Its discussion centers on five of Anthony’s canonical songs and considers how, in Aparicio’s reading, they engage with colonial violence and the formation of multiple identities among listeners. The study connects close attention to particular songs with broader questions about music, community, and representation in the United States.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Considering his music outside of limiting frameworks imposed by the music industry, Frances R. Aparicio situates Anthony's songs within specific musical genealogies and histories, demonstrating that his songs not only foster healing from colonial violence but also produce, textually and sonically, multiple identities that resonate with his listeners.
