From jazz and folk to hip hop, heavy metal, and straight edge, popular music is not only a cultural artifact but an ever-expanding part of our social lives. The sixteen different genres explored in Music Sociology demonstrate that music is everywhere reflects social values, organizational processes, meanings, and individual identity. Presenting original ethnographic research, the contributors use descriptions of subcultures to explain the concepts of music sociology, including the rituals that link people to music - and the past and each other. The authors consider the intersections of race, class, and gender identity as they are learned, structured, and modified through lyrics and cultural experiences. Authenticity of music in the way it is performed, understood, and experienced is central to the book, as is the way the music industry and technology further modify these experiences. Written by sociologists also involved in music, this collection takes the reader on a very personal - yet public - journey. It introduces the sociology of music to those who may not be familiar with it and provides a basic historical perspective on popular music in America. -- from back cover.

Music was everywhere in ancient Rome. Wherever one went in the sprawling city, the sound of singing and piping, drumming and strumming was never far out of earshot. This book examines the role of music in Roman politics and society, focusing on the period from the Roman conquest of Greece in the second century BCE to the end of the reign of Nero in 68 CE. Drawing on a wide range of literary texts, inscriptions and material artefacts, Harry Morgan uncovers the tensions between elite and popular attitudes towards music and shows how music was exploited as a tool by political leaders and emperors. Far from being a marginal aspect of daily life, music was fundamental to Roman political culture and social relations, shaping debates about class, gender and ethnicity. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of ancient music and Roman history.

Samba is Brazil's ""national rhythm,"" the foremost symbol of its culture and nationhood. To the outsider, samba and the famous pre-Lenten carnival of which it is the centerpiece seem to showcase the country's African heritage. Within Brazil, however, samba symbolizes the racial and cultural mixture that, since the 1930s, most Brazilians have come to believe defines their unique national identity.
