This volume brings together the work of social scientists and music
scholars examining the role of migrant and migrant descended
communities in the production and consumption of popular music in
Europe and North America. The contributions to the collection
include studies of language and local identity in hip hop in Liege
and Montreal; the politics of Mexican folk music in Los Angeles;
the remaking of ethnic boundaries in Naples; the changing meanings
of Tango in the Argentine diaspora and of Alevi music among Turks
in Germany; the history of Soca in Brooklyn; and the recreation of
'American' culture by the children of immigrants on the Broadway
stage. Taken together, these works demonstrate how music affords us
a window onto local culture, social relations and community
politics in the diverse cities of immigrant receiving societies.
Music is often one of the first arenas in which populations
encounter newcomers, a place where ideas about identity can be
reformulated and reimagined, and a field in which innovation and
hybridity are often highly valued. This book highlights why it is a
subject worthy of more attention from students of racial and ethnic
relations in diverse societies. It was originally published as a
special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
