Ever since Peter Gabriel fronted progressive rock band Genesis,
from the late 1960s until the mid 1970s, journalists and academics
alike have noted the importance of Gabriel's contribution to
popular music. His influence became especially significant when he
embarked on a solo career in the late 1970s. Gabriel secured his
place in the annals of popular music history through his poignant
recordings, innovative music videos, groundbreaking live
performances, the establishment of WOMAD (the World of Music and
Dance) and the Real World record label (as a forum for musicians
from around the world to be heard, recorded and promoted) and for
his political agenda (including links to a variety of political
initiatives including the Artists Against Apartheid Project,
Amnesty International and the Human Rights Now tour). In addition,
Gabriel is known as a sensitive, articulate and critical performer
whose music reflects an innate curiosity and deep intellectual
commitment. This collection documents and critically explores the
most central themes found in Gabriel's work. These are divided into
three important conceptual areas arising from Gabriel's activity as
a songwriter and recording artist, performer and activist:
'Identity and Representation', 'Politics and Power' and 'Production
and Performance'.
