![]() | Gringos Get Rich : Anti-Americanism in Chilean Music Documents counterimperialism in Chilean music since the 1960s Gringos Get Rich: Anti-Americanism in Chilean Music examines anti-Americanism in Latin America as manifested in Chilean music in recent history. From a folk-based movement in the 1960s and early 1970s to underground punk rock groups during the Pinochet regime, to socially conscious hip-hop artists of postdictatorship Chile, Chilean music has followed several left-leaning transnational musical trends to grapple with Chile's fluctuating relationship with the United States. Eunice Rojas's innovative analysis introduces US readers to a wide swath of Chilean musicians and their powerful protest songs and provides a representative and long view of the negative influences of the United States in Latin America. Eunice Rojas is the Herman N. Hipp Associate Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures at Furman University. She is author of Spaces of Madness: Insane Asylums in Argentine Narrative and coeditor of Sounds of Resistance: The Role of Music in Multicultural Activism . |
