Taylor and Francis Knights, V: Music, National Identity and the Politics of Loc

Shortlisted for the 2008 AMS Ruth A. Solie Award (for an outstanding collection of musicological essays). ’...definitively a worthy contribution to the library of scholars interested in a more differentiated view of current processes.’ Popular Music ’... the high calibre of the individual chapters, the inclusion of commentaries by leading researchers, and the editors' intellectually robust conceptualization all result in a polished and engaging text. It will be of interest to scholars of music and other disciplines where location, politics and nationhood are key issues, and it makes a fine contribution to the evolution of the discourse of music and globalization.’ Lied und populäre Kultur 'This book makes a stimulating contribution to the literature on popular music and national identity, and it has much to offer ethnomusicologists interested in globalisation theory and the politics of popular music.'
