Martin Stokes urges us to regard citizenship as a fundamentally contested concept, whose diverse articulations are variously felt, signified, enacted, and mediated through musical practice. By surveying a wide range of theoretical perspectives, and through contemporary case studies that weave between bicycles, football crowds, and city parks, Stokes offers a landmark statement of pressing relevance to anyone concerned with music's social roles. * Robert Adlington, author of Musical Models of Democracy *
