With chapters on key genres, traditions, and subcultures, as well as fresh and engaging directions for future scholarship, the volume considers how music has thought about and articulated social class. It consists entirely of original contributions written by internationally renowned scholars, and provides an essential reference point for scholars interested in the relationship between popular music and social class"--Publisher's description.Description based on online resource; title from electronic title page (ProQuest Ebook Central, viewed on January 13, 2021).
