"Readers of this volume will come away with a richer understanding of how and why music and dance are two of the most potent expressive forms in and around the US-Mexico border. Transnational Encounters is required reading in Latin@ studies, popular music and ethnomusicology."--Latino Studies

"Transnational Encounters will richly reward the diligent reader looking for connections and theoretical frames upon which to build future study."--Ethnomusicology

"Bridging various approaches to border studies, this fascinating and far-ranging collection assembled by Alejandro Madrid is solidly grounded in the aural culture particulars of the US-Mexico transnational soundscape...Transnational Encounters delivers readers equal parts substantial information and original research in sync with insightful social and cultural analysis."--Hispanic American Historical Review

I recommend it for students and scholars of ethnomusicology, cultural studies, and in the broadest sense, American and identity studies."--Latin American Music Review

"[T]his volume provides a significant contribution to the discussion of crucial broad themes in contemporary musicology - music and place, performance, or the old but still very relevant music and nationalism."--Popular Music
