Made in Sweden: Studies in Popular Music serves as a comprehensive
and rigorous introduction to the history, sociology and musicology
of twentieth-century Swedish popular music. The volume consists of
essays by leading scholars of Swedish popular music and covers the
major figures, styles and social contexts of pop music in Swedish.
Although the vast majority of the contributors are Swedish, the
essays are expressly written for an international English-speaking
audience. No knowledge of Swedish music or culture will be assumed.
Each essay provides adequate context so readers understand why the
figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance to
Swedish popular music; each section features a brief introduction
by the volume editors. The book presents a general description of
the history and background of Swedish popular music, followed by
essays that are organized into thematic sections: The Historical
Development of the Swedish Popular-Music Mainstream; The
Swedishness of Swedish Popular-Music Genres; Professionalization
and Diversification; and Swedish Artist Personas. Contributors:
