Silvestre Revueltas: Sounds of a Political Passion shows how Revueltas, strongly inspired by the Mexican and Russian Revolutions, sought ways to sound the voice of the commoners wandering the Mexican streets, as well as that of gypsy miners in Spain, Black women in the U.S. South, and slaves in Cuba in colonial times.

Coros y Danzas explores how women of the early Franco regime (1939-53) adapted rural music traditions and Spanish nationalism according to different political circumstances. The Sección Femenina of the fascist Falange party shaped traditional Spanish songs and dances to promote ideas of Catholic morality, helped legitimize colonial involvement in Spain's African territories, and formed political ties with the Allied powers after the Second World War.

Cuban Music Counterpoints traces the continuities and ruptures in the Cuban classical music scene between 1940 and 1991. The book focuses on specific events, objects, and compositions that reveal how composers forged connections with local and foreign composers, visual artists, writers, dancers, and film makers by placing them within emergent global, social, political, and cultural contexts.
