Description:
Pop music and rock music are often treated as separate genres
but the distinction has always been blurred Motti Regev
argues that pop-rock is best understood as a single musical form
defined by the use of electric and electronic instruments,
amplification and related techniques. The history of pop-rock
extends from the emergence of rock'n'roll in the 1950s to a variety
of contemporary fashions and trends ? rock, punk, soul, funk,
techno, hip hop, indie, metal, pop and many more.
This book offers a highly original account of the emergence of
pop-rock music as a global phenomenon in which Anglo-American and
many other national and ethnic variants interact in complex
ways Pop-rock is analysed as a prime instance of 'aesthetic
cosmopolitanism' ? that is, the gradual formation, in late
modernity, of world culture as a single interconnected entity in
which different social groupings around the world increasingly
share common ground in their aesthetic perceptions, expressive
forms and cultural practices.
Drawing on a wide array of examples, this path-breaking book
will be of great interest to students and scholars in cultural
sociology, media and cultural studies as well as the study of
popular music.

Magic City poetry series
Format: Paperback
This book was recommended to me to add to my poetry collection. It is a book that you can pick up and read a few poems and then put down to try to think of the meaning. It is written very well. Just takes a bit of thinking to understand.

Down Home Blues
Format: Paperback
Magic City remains, perhaps, my favorite volume out of Yusef Komunyakaa's distinguished body of work. With his characteristic blues and jazz-inflected lyricism, Komunyakaa revisits the harrowing violence and racism of the deep south as viewed through a piercingly translucent prism of personal memory. The poems making up this volume are in many respects a poetry of witness, and the eyes through which which this gritty psychic landscape is revealed to the reader penetrate various scenes of troubled family life, poverty, violence and racism with a razor-sharp clarity rife with anger, sorrow, and beauty. Ranging in age from childhood to young adulthood, the speakers, or witnesses, in these poems see through eyes that are simultaneously innocent and jaded, naive and urbane, unflinchingly tough and lyrically sensitive. These are unforgettable poems. Like good blues, they cut right down to the bone.

Unblinking portrait of a childhood in the Jim Crow South
Format: Paperback
Komunyakaa, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his Neon Vernacular, here writes about his childhood in a Louisiana town. The poems are poignant but unsentimental: the child's world has a certain kind of innocence but is saturated with violence, from the Klan to his father's abuse of his mother to the pragmatic violence of slaughtering a hog. One of the more exciting elements of this book is Komunyakaa's skill in combining realistic description with startling and even puzzlingly abstract language.
