Girl Groups, Girl Culture (eBook, ePUB)

Popular Music and Identity in the 1960s

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

While there were over 1500 girl groups recorded in the sixties -- including key hitmakers like the Ronettes, the Supremes, and the Shirelles -- studies of girl-group music that address race, gender, class, and sexuality have only just begun to appear. Girl Groups, Girl Culture is a landmark study of this important pop music and cultural phenomenon. Warwick is the first writer to address sixties girl group music from the perspective of its most significant audience -- teenage girls -- drawing on current research in psychology and sociology to explore the important place of this repertoire in the emotional development of young girls of the baby boom generation.
