Singing the Classical, Voicing the Modern: The Postcolonial Politics of Music in South India
ISBN: 9780822336204 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While Karnatic music, a form of Indian music based on the melodic principle of "raga" and time cycles called "tala," is known today as South India's classical music, its status as "classical" is an early-twentieth-century construct, one that emerged in the crucible of colonial modernity, nationalist ideology, and South Indian regional politics.

As part of the cultural memory, many of the most popular corridos express the immigrant experience: exploitation, surveillance, and dehumanization stemming from racism and classism of the host country.
