Book Synopsis World Music, Politics and Social Change by : Simon Frith
Book excerpt: Twelve essays study the commercialization of ethnic music for markets in the developed world, and the impact on local music and performers in the third world. Drawing on a number of academic disciplines, and music from, among other places, West Africa, Indonesia, Slovenia, Colombia, Israel, and Cuba, the contributors challenge both traditional and progressive assumptions about music.
