Böcker i Studies in the History and Soc-serien

This ten-chapter book explores how music and society are, and have been, intertwined and mutually influential. It examines the agents behind these connections: who determines musical cultures in society? Which social groups are represented in particular musical contexts? Which social groups are silenced or less well represented in music's histories, and why?

Thisvolume provides a transnational study of the impact of musical cultures inthe Eastern Baltics-Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and Russia-at theend of the Cold War and in the early post-Communist period.
