Abstract

"A Kiss Across the Ocean: Transatlantic Intimacies of British Post-Punk and US Latinidad" by Richard T. Rodrı ´ guez explores the reciprocal relationships between US Latina/o/x fans of British post-punk bands from the 1980s onward. The book highlights the shared recognition and touch between marginalized communities, demonstrating the cultural impacts of US Latinidad on UK post-punk singers and bands. Rodrı ´ guez analyzes the influence of artists such as Siouxsie Sioux, Morrissey, and others, emphasizing the multidirectional nature of cultural exchange and appreciation. The book makes an important contribution to US Latina/o/x transnational cultural studies and recognizes the power of US pop culture to influence UK artists. [Extracted from the article]
