Music Sociology explores 16 different genres to demonstrate that
music everywhere reflects social values, organisational processes,
meanings and individual identity. Presenting original ethnographic
research, the contributors use descriptions of subcultures to
explain the concepts of music sociology, including the rituals that
link people to music, the past and each other. Music Sociology
introduces the sociology of music to those who may not be familiar

music in America and beyond.

This book represents a truly innovative and empowering approach to
social problems. Instead of focusing solely on a seemingly tireless
list of major problems, Sara Towe Horsfall considers how select key
issues can be solved and pays particular attention to the advocate
groups already on the front lines. Horsfall first provides a robust
theoretical foundation to the study of social problems before
moving on to the problems themselves, examining each through the
lens of specific advocate groups working towards solutions. This
concise and accessible text also incorporates useful learning tools
including study questions to help reinforce reading comprehension,
questions for further thought to encourage critical thinking and
classroom discussion, a glossary of key terms, and a worksheet for
researching advocate groups. "Social Problems: An Advocate Group
Approach "is an essential resource for social problems courses and
for anyone who is inspired to effect change.
