Reviews
'This collection conveys the passionate response by younger scholars to the cultural aspects of a crisis that has increasingly defined the world. Through looking at music beyond the arenas of the big-ticket pop stars, these papers are able to explain many of our more real and complex reactions - reflecting our own disquiet in the face of the ghosts of our own history.' Paul Attinello, Newcastle University, UK 'This book would make an interesting addition to any reading list... recommended: Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers.' Choice '... a lively and significant contribution.' Music and Letters
