BOOK REVIEWS

We recommend that you do not summarize chapter by chapter. The main goal of the review is to situate the publication vis-à-vis existing literature.

You may wish to address the following:

What are the author’s goals? Are they achieved?
How does the publication contribute to the existing literature and current work on Latin American Music?
What is the Target Audience? Who—specialists, music scholars, music instructors, graduate students, undergraduate students, performance students, the general public, etc.—would find the publication useful?
Are the author’s arguments supported with compelling evidence?
What is the author’s methodology?
Brief comments on writing style; for example, is the writing clear? does the author employ technical language?
Does the publication include musical examples/analyses?
Does the publication include multi-media materials, such as an accompanying CD, mp3 downloads, or supporting website?
A brief statement of the publication’s strongest and less-satisfactory aspects.

CD REVIEWS

You may wish to address the following:

Comments on the liner notes: How useful are they? Who is the author? How is the material presented? its organization, conceptualization, languages, etc.
How does the CD contribute to exiting sources of similar genre, period, region, style, etc.
Is the music already commercially available?
What is the recording quality? Are these field recordings?
What are the goals of the CD?
How useful is the CD for pedagogical or research purposes?
Does the CD include additional video/online resources?
