Popular Music and the Postcolonial addresses the often-overlooked
relationship between the fields of popular music and postcolonial
studies, and it has implications for ethnomusicology, cultural and
literary studies, history, sociology, and political economy.
Popular music in its many forms exploded in popularity, following
developments in sound technology and shifting population
demographics, in the 1960s, the era of radical agitation against
empires in the global south but also within the very heart of
Europe. Popular music aided in fostering and documenting such
resistance to violent oppression and in liberating the hearts and
minds of the colonized. This collection offers a timely
intervention in this field, showing popular music's role in
defining or undermining certain colonial and postcolonial nations,
in expanding and complicating the domain of postcolonial
theorists-including the "founder" of postcolonial studies Edward
Said-and in decolonizing the ears of its diverse, sometimes
antagonistic, audiences. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Popular Music and Society.
