Race and music seem fatally entwined in a way that involves both
creative ethnic hybridity and ongoing problems of racism. This book
presents a sociological analysis of this enduring relationship and
asks: how are ideas of race critical to the understanding of music
genres and preferences? What does the 'love of difference' via
music contribute to contemporary perspectives of racism? Previous
studies of world music have situated it within the dynamics of
local/global musical production, the representation of nations and
ethnic groups, theories of globalization, hybridization and
cultural appropriation. Haynes adds a conceptual and textual shift
to these debates by utilizing world music as a lens for examining
cultural imaginaries of race and analytical nuances of
racialization. The text offers a view of world music from 'within,
' building on original, qualitative, interview-based research with
people from the British world music scene. These interviews provide
unique insights into the discursive repertoires that underpin
contemporary culture, and will make a significant contribution to
the mainly theoretical debates about world music.
