Since the 1990s, Spanish-\u003cbr\u003e language radio has dethroned English-language radio stations in major cities\u003cbr\u003e across the United States, taking over the number one spot in Los Angeles,\u003cbr\u003e Houston, Miami, and New York City. Investigating the cultural and political\u003cbr\u003e history of U.S. Spanish-language broadcasts throughout the twentieth century, Sounds\u003cbr\u003e of Belonging reveals how these changes have helped Spanish-language radio\u003cbr\u003e secure its dominance in the major U.S. radio markets.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bringing together theories on the immigration experience with\u003cbr\u003e sound and radio studies, Dolores Inés Casillas documents\u003cbr\u003e how Latinos form listening relationships with Spanish-language radio\u003cbr\u003e programming. Using a vast array of sources, from print culture and industry\u003cbr\u003e journals to sound archives of radio programming, she reflects on institutional\u003cbr\u003e growth, the evolution of programming genres, and reception by the radio\u003cbr\u003e industry and listeners to map the trajectory of Spanish-language radio, from\u003cbr\u003e its grassroots origins to the current corporate-sponsored business it has\u003cbr\u003e become. Casillas focuses on Latinos' use of Spanish-language radio to help\u003cbr\u003e navigate their immigrant experiences with U.S. institutions, for example in\u003cbr\u003e broadcasting discussions about immigration policies while providing anonymity\u003cbr\u003e for a legally vulnerable listenership. Sounds of Belonging proposes that\u003cbr\u003e debates of citizenship are not always formal personal appeals but a collective\u003cbr\u003e experience heard loudly through broadcast radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52569948029208,"sku":"9780814770245","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sounds-of-belonging-u-s-spanish-language-radio-and-public-advocacy-paperback-softback-9780814770245","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
