Description

This critical examination explores how rock 'n' roll history has been constructed and narrated over time. The book identifies eight typical strategies employed by music critics and historians when writing about American popular music, subjecting each approach to forensic analysis. It questions whether music history narratives have become formulaic or remain open to outside influences, whilst examining who the genre's primary historians have been and what common frameworks shape their work. Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, this posthumous work offers a unique perspective on the assumptions embedded in music historical discourse and the consequences of leaving such assumptions unexamined. Essential reading for anyone interested in how popular music history is documented, interpreted, and understood.
