This book traces the trajectories of modern globalization since the
late nineteenth century, and considers hegemonic cultural beliefs
and practices during the various phases of the history of
capitalism. It offers a way to study world popular music from the
perspective of critical social theory. Moving chronologically, the
book adopts the three phases in the history of capitalist hegemony
since the nineteenth century-liberal, organized, and neoliberal
capitalism-to consider world popular music in each of these
cultural contexts. While capitalism is now everywhere, its history
has been one borne out of racism and masculine hegemony. Early
Europeanization and globalization have had a major impact upon
western race/gender/sexuality/capitalist hegemony, while nascent
technologies of capital have led to a renewed reification and
exploitation of racialized, sexualized, and classed populations.
This book offers a critique of the relationship between emergent
capitalist formations and culture over the past hundred years. It
explores the way that world popular music mediates economic,
cultural, and ideological conditions, through which capitalism has
been created in multiple and heterogeneous ways, understanding
world popular music as the production of meaning through language
and representation. The various dimensions considered in the book
are the work of critical social science-a critique of capitalism's
impact upon popular music in historical and world perspective. This
book provides a powerful contemporary framework for contemporary
popular music studies with a distinctive global and
interdisciplinary awareness, covering empirical research from
across the world in addition to well-established and newer theory
from the music disciplines, social sciences, and humanities. It
offers fresh conceptualizations about world popular music seen
within the context of globalization, capitalism, and identity.
