Derived from the nationalist writings of Jos Mart, the concept of Cubanidad (Cubanness)
has always imagined a unified hybrid nation where racial difference is nonexistent
and nationality trumps all other axes identities. Scholars have critiqued this celebration
of racial mixture, highlighting a gap between the claim of racial harmony and the
realities of inequality faced by Afro-Cubans since independence in 1898. In this book,
Rebecca M. Bodenheimer argues that it is not only the recognition of racial difference
that threatens to divide the nation, but that popular regional sentiment further contests
the hegemonic national discourse. Given that the music is a prominent symbol ofCubanidad,
musical practices play an important role in constructing regional, local, and national
identities. This book suggests that regional identity exerts a significant influence
on the aesthetic choices made by Cuban musicians. Through the examination of several
genres, Bodenheimer explores the various ways that race and place are entangled in
contemporary Cuban music. She argues that racialized notions which circulate about
different cities affect both the formation of local identity and musical performance.
Thus, the musical practices discussed in the book--including rumba, timba, eastern
Cuban folklore, and son--are examples of the intersections between regional identity
formation, racialized notions of place, and music-making
