The Bad Bunny Enigma: Culture, Resistance, and Uncertainty

This collection offers the first comprehensive analysis of Bad Bunny’s impact on music, culture, and politics. Exploring his gender-fluid style, Afro-Caribbean aesthetics, and critiques of colonialism, the book highlights his role in amplifying marginalized voices. With contributions from diverse scholars, it presents a balanced view of his influence on intersectional resistance. The chapters examine whether Bad Bunny represents a cultural shift or a fleeting moment, positioning him as a multifaceted figure in contemporary culture and activism.
