[Commlist] New Book - Heavy Metal Music in Argentina: In Black We Are Seen

Intellect is pleased to announce that /*Heavy Metal Music in Argentina: 
In Black We Are Seen 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/heavy-metal-music-in-argentina>*/, 
edited by Emiliano Scaricaciottoli, Nelson Varas-Díaz and Daniel Nevárez 
Araujo, is available in hardback and ebook.

An interdisciplinary study of Argentina’s heavy metal subculture between 
1983 and 2002 – a period in which metal music withstood the onslaught of 
military dictatorship and survived the neoliberal policies of bourgeois 
democracy – /Heavy Metal Music in Argentina/ is the first collection of 
critical essays to be published in English on Argentine metal music, and 
explores heavy metal music as a catalyst for social change and site for 
engaging political reflection.

Edited by leading researchers in the field and written by members of the 
Group for Interdisciplinary Research on Argentinian Heavy Metal (GIIHMA) 
in a communal approach to scholarship, the book echoes the working-class 
voices that marked early post-dictatorship metal music in Argentina. The 
collection addresses the music’s rituals, circulations, cultural 
products, lyrics and intertexts, allowing readers to rethink the genre’s 
place within Argentinean politics and economics.

Suitable for scholars and students across a range of disciplines, as 
well as general readers with an interest in the genre, /Heavy Metal 
Music in Argentina/ is a fascinating work of scholarship and a 
groundbreaking contribution to the emerging field of global metal studies.
