From Bomba to Hip Hop

 I have a huge collection of Latin Hip Hop, Rap En Español, Spanglish rap music and a DVD's.  What I'm lacking are books. I started a search on Amazon and I came across this book. "From Bomba to Hip-Hop" The book is written by Juan Flores, a professor of Black and Puerto Rican studies at Hunter College. The book was published in 2000 around the time when Big Pun was getting heaving radio rotation, before Reggaeton took over Spanish radio stations and before Pitbull dominated the club scene.W

Believe it or not the the book was a little challenging to read with sentences like "It is this bottom-line, largely articulated consensus as to the persistantance of coloniality that may account for the reluctance to engage the concepts of postcolonial theory in the eclectic intellectual landscape of the current debates." pg35 . This would be a good book to add to the collection. I have been wanting to write a book on something similar to this subject.
