Book Synopsis Playing in the Cathedral by : Jesús A. Ramos-Kittrell
Book excerpt: This work explores how cathedral musicians in eighteenth-century Mexico City relied on music and on their institutional affiliation to define their social place. In the tensions that brewed within New Spain's racial casta (or caste) system, people of mixed race increasingly competed for Spanish benefits and prerogatives.
