| Publisher Description: English pop music was a dominant force on the global cultural scene in the decades after World War II - and it served a key role in defining, constructing and challenging various ideas about Englishness in the period. Kari Kallioniemi covers a stunning range of styles of pop - from punk, reggae and psychedelia to jazz, rock, Brit Pop and beyond - as he explores the question of how various artists (including such major figures as David Bowie and Morrissey), genres and pieces of music contributed to the developing understanding of who and what was English in the transformative post-war years. Publication Forum (Finland) lists this book as a Level 2 publication, where 'the highest-level publications are directed as a result of extensive competition and demanding peer-review'.For Intellect's full listings in this catalogue, please click here. |
