  Book of Salsa: A Chronicle of Urban Music from the Caribbean to New York City (Latin America in Translation), by Cesar Miguel Rondon, translated by Frances R. Aparicio and Jackie White, University of North Carolina Press, $59.95, cloth, $20 paper, (February 2008), ISBN-10: 0807858595, ISBN-13: 978-0807858592, pp. 352.
  This history of salsa was first published in 1980 but not available in English until now. Cesar Miguel Rondon chronicles the genre's development, from its birth in the 1940s, fusing jazz, Cuban/Caribbean/South American rhythms into explosive, danceable, urban compositions. The book documents the contributions of the musical pioneers and entrepreneurs who created and nourished the salsa phenomenon, taking it from street to ballroom. The period since 1980 is covered in a new chapter, and a discography offers a tempting sample of recordings.
