An intelligent survey of world music's
      inter-cultural fusions

      
In a wild tour across the globe, touching
      down in Havana, Port-au-Prince, Kingston, Budapest, Paris, London,
      New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo, George Lipsitz explores the
      fusion of immigrant and mainstream cultures displayed in world
      music, including rap, jazz, reggae, zouk, bhangra, juju, swamp
      pop, and Puerto Rican bugalu and Chicago punk.

      
"This astonishing book deals in absorbing
      detail with the multiplying hybrids now loosely referred to as
      world music." -- Jazz Times

      
"Dangerous Crossroads presents a plea:
      for connection, empathy, and a kinship like none we've ever heard
      before." -- L.A. Weekly

      
George Lipsitz
      is Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California,
      San Diego.
