Music, Popular Culture, Identities is a collection of sixteen
essays that will appeal to a wide range of readers with interests
in popular culture and music, cultural studies, and
ethnomusicology. Organized around the central theme of music as an
expression of local, ethnic, social and other identities, the
essays touch upon popular traditions and contemporary forms from
several different regions of the world: political engagement in
Italian popular music; flamenco in Spain; the challenge of
traditional music in Bulgaria; boerenrock and rap in Holland;
Israeli extreme heavy metal; jazz and pop in South Africa, and
musical hybridity and politics in Cote d'Ivoire. The collection
includes essays about Latin America: on the Mexican corrido, the
Caribbean, popular dance music in Cuba, and bossanova from Brazil.
Communities of a cultural diaspora in North America are discussed
in essays on Somali immigrant and refugee youth and Iranians in
exile in the US. Grounded in cultural theory and a specialized
knowledge of a particular popular musical practice, each author has
written a critical study on the mix of music and identity in a
particular social practice and context.
