Who are "the folk" in folk music? This book traces the musical
culture of these elusive figures in Britain and the US during a
crucial period of industrialization from 1870 to 1930, and beyond
to the contemporary alt-right. Drawing on a broad,
interdisciplinary range of scholarship, The Folk examines the
political dimensions of a recurrent longing for folk culture and
how it was called upon for radical and reactionary ends at the apex
of empire. It follows an insistent set of disputes surrounding the
practice of collecting, ideas of racial belonging, nationality, the
poetics of nostalgia, and the pre-history of European fascism.
Deeply researched and beautifully written, Ross Cole provides us
with a biography of a people who exist only as a symptom of the
modern imagination, and the archaeology of a landscape directing
flows of global populism to this day.
