Awakening the Sensorium in Puerto Rico’s Colonial Modernity	2018	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1287	26	28	I had migrated to the US in 1969 and completed high school here and was now returning to my island, to my homeland, as an adult, as an out gay young man with an insurrectional Afro and platform shoes seeking to connect, or better yet to reconnect, with my Puerto Rican cohorts and the thrilling, irreverent cul- ture they were forging. Deploying the figure of nada, Fiol-Matta seeks to register first the shocking effacement from the official archives and records of the sonic achievements of these extraordinary and influ- ential Puerto Rican women singers and the attempted appropriations and domestications of their image and sound by the modern colonial Puerto Rican state and the music industries, as well as the no-less-distorting pres- sures on them by supportive left-leaning cultural nationalist intellectuals.	cache/currentmusicology-5372.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5372.txt
