"Sociologists And Music | Sociology

Sociologists have always been fascinated with music. In one way or another they have encountered music as an important social force in its own right as an accompaniment or byproduct of phenomena they studied (such as youth culture or the drug scene) or as a means for obtaining social compliance (as in religious ceremonies or in the military). This book goes one step toward remedying this situation by culling the existing literature for building blocks toward introducing sociological synthesis and by presenting the English version of the extensive writings on music and society by Paul Honigsheim. |Sociologists and Music | Sociology
