Musicians in Transit: Argentina and the Globalization of Popular Music
Tango Lessons: Movement, Sound, Image, and Text in Contemporary Practice

While most readers will be generally familiar with the tango, few of us know very much about its fascinating history and evolution. Deborah Jakubs makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of this initially working‐class cultural form, which was at first disdained and then appropriated by the Argentine middle and upper classes. She traces its origins in the lower class neighborhoods on the outskirts of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, its ex…
