A study of the impact of Cuban music on Senegalese music and modernityRoots in Reverse explores how Latin music contributed to the formation of the ngritude movement in the 1930s. Taking Senegal and Cuba as its primary research areas, this work uses oral histories, participant observation, and archival research to examine the ways AfroCuban music has influenced Senegalese debates about cultural and political citizenship and modernity. Shain argues that the trajectory of AfroCuban music in twentieth century Senegal illuminates many dimensions of that nation s cultural history such as gender relations, generational competition and conflict, debates over cosmopolitanism and hybridity, the role of nostalgia in Senegalese national culture and diasporic identities. More than just a new form of musical enjoyment, AfroCuban music provided listeners with a tool for creating a public sphere free from European and North American cultural hegemony.
