Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
[This book] brings into clear relief ways that soul music has traveled and continues to travel dynamically across international borders. This book significantly extends the expanding research on Northern Soul and the power and efficacy of African American musical aesthetics and cultural products.
Their book explores in detail how music, memory, and place combine and recombine to make this music meaningful again in another new home, adding another vital piece of the jigsaw to our understanding of popular music culture.
