They combine a sophisticated theoretical argument with historical-empirical studies of nineteenth-century populists and twentieth-century labour and ethnic movements, focusing on the interrelations between music and social movements in the United States and the transfer of those experiences to Europe. Specific chapters examine folk and country music, black music, music of the 1960s movements, and music of the Swedish progressive movement. This highly readable book is among the first to link the political sociology of social movements to cultural theory.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 335gAuthor: Andrew Jamison, Ron EyermanGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Cambridge Cultural Social StudiesTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 1998
