Richard T. Rodríguez will discuss his recent book A Kiss Across the Ocean: Transatlantic Intimacies of British Post-Punk and US Latinidad, which explores the relationship between British post-punk musicians and their U.S. Latine audiences since the 1980s. Melding memoir with cultural criticism, Rodríguez spotlights influential bands and performers whose music and styles hold sway on fans enthused by their pleasurable and political reverberations.
