Title: So-So Sociology and Terrible Musicology
Product review: "Samba" is a pretty good read, but evidentally the author only spent a short time in Brazil doing her research. It's very superficial in terms of cultural and racial issues. And its musical analysis is WAY off the mark. She knows nothing about samba. There are much better books out there about samba and Brazilian music.
