From the barrios of East Harlem to the Streets of Crown Heights, Caribbean music permeates New York City's contemporary soundscape. Indeed, the Big Apple has been a crossroads for Caribbean music and culture since the early years of this century. Island Sounds in the Global City, a collection of critical essays, surveys a rich mosaic of popular Caribbean styles and explores the fascinating relationship between music and cultural identity in America's largest, most diverse urban center.
