Rezensionen

"MacGregor Wise's meander through music and youth culture offers a vision of a free global sweet shop, in which fashionable kids can pick and mix their identities ... .A comparison of the manner in which the music press elevates certain types of world music with British colonial approval of the Indian caste system provides ... originality." ( Times Literary Supplement , February 2009)
