Black Popular Music in Britain Since 1945 provides the first broad
scholarly discussion of this music since 1990. The book critically
examines key moments in the history of black British popular music
from 1940s jazz to 1970s soul and reggae, 1990s Jungle and the
sounds of Dubstep and Grime that have echoed through the 2000s.
While the book offers a history it also discusses the ways black
musics in Britain have intersected with the politics of race and
class, multiculturalism, gender and sexuality, and debates about
media and technology. Contributors examine the impact of the local,
the ways that black music in Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool,
Manchester and London evolved differently and how black popular
music in Britain has always developed in complex interaction with
the dominant British popular music tradition. This tradition has
its own histories located in folk music, music hall and a constant
engagement, since the nineteenth century, with American popular
music, itself a dynamic mixing of African-American, Latin American
and other musics. The ideas that run through various chapters form
connecting narratives that challenge dominant understandings of
black popular music in Britain and will be essential reading for
those interested in Popular Music Studies, Black British Studies
and Cultural Studies.
