Musical Gentrification is an exploration of the role of popular
music in processes of socio-cultural inclusion and exclusion in a
variety of contexts. Twelve chapters by international scholars
reveal how cultural objects of relatively lower status, in this
case popular musics, are made objects of acquisition by subjects or
institutions of higher social status, thereby playing an important
role in social elevation, mobility and distinction. The phenomenon
of musical gentrification is approached from a variety of angles:
theoretically, methodologically and with reference to a number of
key issues in popular music, from class, gender and ethnicity to
cultural consumption, activism, hegemony and musical agency.
Drawing on a wide range of case studies, empirical examples and
ethnographic data, this is a valuable study for scholars and
researchers of Music Education, Ethnomusicology, Cultural Studies
and Cultural Sociology.
