The North American Folk Music Revival: Nation and Identity in the United States and Canada, 1945-1980

Gillian Mitchell, "The North American Folk Music Revival: Nation and Identity in the United States and Canada, 1945-1980"
English | ISBN: 0754657566 | 2007 | 230 pages | PDF | 1 MB

This work represents the first comparative study of the folk revival movement in Anglophone Canada and the United States and combines this with discussion of the way folk music intersected with, and was structured by, conceptions of national affinity and national identity. Students will find the book useful as an introduction, not only to key themes in the folk revival, but also to concepts in the study of national identity and to topics in American and Canadian cultural history. Academic specialists will encounter an alternative perspective from the more general, broad approach offered by earlier histories of the folk revival movement.
