    Description
    A survey of the major American popular music traditions ca. 1840-2000, including popular song and musical theater; the blues-ragtime-jazz axis; country-and-western; rock music; and the soul-funk-disco-hip-hop axis. Addresses the evolution of the music industry and music-related media and technology, and the role of race, class, region, and gender in music’s production, dissemination, and consumption.
