Music and Politics - A Critical Introduction Garratt James University of ManchesterPaperback / softback
This book is not about music or politics. How do these fields intersect, and what theories and approaches can help us understand their interactions? It is about the 'and' that binds them together.
This book overhauls our understanding of how these fields interact, offering a rigorous reappraisal of key concepts such as power, protest, resistance, subversion, propaganda, and ideology. How have the relationships between music and politics changed over time and across cultures, and are the familiar tools we use in dealing with them fit for purpose?
