In Australia, Hawai'i, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia this has resulted in new forms of syncretic or 'fusion' musics, such as Aboriginal Rock or 'Jawaiian' Reggae. This anthology provides the first survey of this cultural phenomenon and analyses the cultural politics of various forms of music and the media contexts in which they circulate. |
