Examining the experiences of musicians, industry personnel, and audiences, World Music and the Black Atlantic offers a nuanced view of a global industry informed and marked by diverse transnational perspectives and histories of transatlantic exchange.

Recenzje

Whitmore's analysis describes a new ethos untethered from simple oppositions between locals and cosmopolitans. For those wondering what happened to "world music," Whitmore's fine-grained ethnography looks at the emergence of "genre culture" and declares that world music is back, and it's here to stay.
