Leisure Studies in a Global Era: Popular Music, Place and Globalization

Lashua, B.; Spracklen, K.; Wagg, S.

This book explores the ways in which Western-derived music connects with globalization, hybridity, consumerism and the flow of cultures. Both as local terrain and as global crossroads, cities remain fascinating spaces of cultural contestation and meaning-making via the composing, playing, recording and consumption of popular music.
