Produktbeschreibung
Music and Irish Identity represents the latest stage in a life-long project for Gerry Smyth focusing on the ways in which music engages with various aspects of Irish identity. The nature of popular music and the identities it supposedly articulates have both undergone profound change: the first as a result of technological and wider industrial changes in the organisation and dissemination of music, the second as a consequence of Ireland's fall from economic grace after the demise of the 'Celtic Tiger', and the ensuing crisis of national identity. The book will be of seminal importance to all interested in popular music, cultural studies and the wider fate of Ireland in the twenty-first century.
