Description

Explore the history of Black British music through this comprehensive scholarly study from Routledge. As part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, this book provides a deep look into the musical evolution of the United Kingdom from 1945 to the present day. The text follows the journey from 1940s jazz through 1970s soul and reggae, reaching into 1990s Jungle and the modern sounds of Dubstep and Grime. It does more than just list genres; it examines how these musical movements connect to broader social themes like race, class, multiculturalism, gender, and sexuality.
