Opis: Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World v 1 - John Shepherd, John Horn, Shepherd

Popular music has been a major force in the world since the 19th century. With the advent of electronic and advanced technology it has become ubiquitous. This is the first volume in a series of encyclopedic works covering popular music of the world, consisting of some 500 entries by 130 contributors from around the world. Entries range between 250 and 5000 words, arranged in two parts: part I: social and cultural dimensions, covering the social phenomena of relevance to the practice of popular music. Part II: the industry, covers all aspects of the popular music industry, such as copyright, instrumental manufacture, management and marketing, record corporations, studios, companies, and labels. "This is an extraordinary achievement and it will become an absolutely vital and trusted resource for everyone working in the field of popular music studies. Even more broadly, anyone interested in popular music or popular culture more generally will enjoy - and find many uses for - the wealth of information and insight captured in this volume." Lawrence Grossberg, Morris Davis Professor of Communication Studies and Cultural Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
