Juan Eduardo Wolf is Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology at the School of Music and Dance of the University of Oregon. He also serves as a core faculty member in the university's Folklore and Public Culture Program.
Wolf's work is exemplary as he critically addresses twenty-first-century deliberations on identity and cultural diversity across the African diaspora. -- Yvonne Daniel, Smith College * Journal of American Folklore * Wolf 's text is a solid contribution to current narratives of self-determination and positioning of Chile's Afro-descendant population. The book highlights the achievements that music and dance represent for social and cultural processes in Chile, which makes it useful to understanding other Afro-American narratives across the Americas. -- Fernando Palacios Mateos * Ethnomusicology * The book itself will not only prove useful for academics interested in the music of Chile, Latin America, the African Diaspora, Blackness, and in semiotics, but is also written in a style that is accessible to upper-level undergraduates and above -- P.
