This book explores the visual dimensions of metal music from the specific socio-historic, geographic, and political positionality of Latin America and the Caribbean where this visual register allows creators and consumers to engage in four distinct strategies (i.e., seeing, revealing, inverting, and appearing) as part of what the authors have termed “extreme decolonial dialogues.” They support their position through a diverse lens that examines essential aspects of the visual dimensions of metal music: album artwork, clothing, film, sites, and activist practices.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNelson Varas-Díaz\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of global and sociocultural studies at Florida International University. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Nevárez Araújo\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of English at the University of Puerto Rico.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 August 2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLexington Books\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666919783\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e262\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515368079500,"sku":"9781666919783","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_6f9c9cb8-30f5-4411-8a69-ff1bc46d07b6.jpg?v=1784692921","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666919783","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
