Eduardo González Castillo Knihy

This collection of essays on popular culture and politics in the Americas presents the study of ethnographic and historical data from different countries: Canada, United States, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Each chapter brings to light a distinct focus on the way in which popular cultural practices evolve in the context of contemporary globalization. Accordingly, this book aims to improve our understanding of the way in which subordinate groups participate in the process of state building and in the reproduction (or rejection) of the major macroeconomic and cultural processes shaping contemporary societies.

En este libro Eduardo González Castillo presenta el estudio de una de las manifestaciones de la cultura popular urbana menos estudiadas en el México contemporáneo: el medio sonidero. Un marco teórico multitemático permite al autor tanto explicar los orígenes de este medio así como entender los significados que los jóvenes «sonideros» de la ciudad de Puebla asocian al mismo.
