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. Much of the criticism of the United States in Chile's music centers on the perception of the United States as a heavy-handed source of capitalist imperialism that is exploitative of and threatening to Chile's poor and working-class public and to Chilean cultural independence and integrity. Rojas incorporates Antonio Gramsci's theories about the difficulties of struggles for cultural power within elitist capitalist systems to explore anti-Americanism and anti-capitalist music. Ultimately, Rojas shows how the music from various genres, time periods, and political systems attempts to act as a counterhegemonic alternative to Chile's political, cultural, and economic status quo. Rojas's insight is timely as a political trend toward the right continues in the Americas. There is also increased interest in and acceptance of popular song lyrics as literary texts. The book will appeal to Latin Americanists, ethnomusicologists, scholars of popular culture and international relations, students, and general readers.

Download and read online ebook How the Gringos Stole Tequila write by Chantal Martineau. This book was released on 2019-07-25. How the Gringos Stole Tequila available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Once little more than party fuel, tequila has graduated to the status of fine sipping spirit. How the Gringos Stole Tequila traces the spirit's evolution in America from frat-house firewater to luxury good. But there's more to the story than tequila as upmarket drinking trend. Author Chantal Martineau spent several years immersing herself in the world of tequila -- traveling to visit distillers and agave farmers in Mexico, meeting and tasting with leading experts and mixologists around the United States, and interviewing academics on either side of the border who have studied the spirit. The result is a book that offers readers a glimpse into the social history and ongoing impact of this one-of-a-kind drink. It addresses issues surrounding the sustainability of the limited resource that is agave, the preservation of traditional production methods, and the agave advocacy movement that has grown up alongside the spirit's swelling popularity. In addition to discussing the culture and politics of Mexico's most popular export, this book also takes readers on a colorful tour of the country's Tequila Trail, as well as introducing them to the mother of tequila: mezcal.

An inside true grit story of the Colombian, Peruvian and Bolivian underworld and several violent years before Pablo Escobar took charge of the cocaine narco trade. Escobar being far from the original of the heavy Cartel leaders during the seventies and early nine-teen eighties. There also existed a half dozen Gringo Cartels across South America. Mainly in Colombia and Bolivia. This is the story of one such gang and of the profits they gained and the terrible violence that they spread across two Continents. From their first flight in a mid-sized twin engine Cessna from the far away clandestine runways in Northern Colombia to the Bahamas with their first load of a thousand pounds of marijuana. Eventually the change to the far most lucrative business on the entire Continent. The Cocaine Trade. This is a story of a few high octane cocaine cowboys from Florida who decided to take their chances to possibly gain the vast fortunes that their Colombian counterparts were enjoying the fruits of. It is about an unlikely group of Gringos who teamed up to be a smuggling force to be reckoned with across all of Europe and the Americas in the late 1970's and early 1980's. While the getting was still there for those that do not divagate from danger or the violence that draw men of reckless blood to such environments.
