Silvia Bermudez's fascinating study reveals how Spanish popular
music, produced between 1980 and 2013, was the first cultural site
to engage in critical debate about ethnicity and race in relation
to the immigration patterns that have been changing the social
landscape of Spanish society since the late 1970s. In Rocking the
Boat, Bermudez examines the lyrics of songs by both renowned and up
and coming artists to illuminate how these new migrants challenged
Spain's notions of homogeneity, boundaries, accommodation, and
incorporation. Bermudez observes that immigration has had such a
significant influence on Spanish society that the tattered boats,
seen to this day on the shores of Spain and throughout the
Mediterranean Sea, have become inverted emblems of the ships that
were once symbols of great power and economic development. Rocking
the Boat is a nuanced account of how popular urban music shaped the
discourse on immigration, transnational migrants, and racialization
in Spain's new social landscape.
