The Routledge Companion to Popular Music History and Heritage examines the social, cultural, political and economic value of popular music as history and heritage. Taking a cross-disciplinary approach, the volume explores the relationship between popular music and the past, and how interpretations of the changing nature of the past in post-industrial societies play out in the field of popular music.
In-depth chapters cover key themes around historiography, heritage, memory and institutions, alongside case studies from around the world, including the UK, Australia, South Africa and India, exploring popular music's connection to culture both past and present.
Wide-ranging in scope, the book is an excellent introduction for students and scholars working in musicology, ethnomusicology, popular music studies, critical heritage studies, cultural studies, memory studies and other related fields.

Relazione
This book thus fulfills the objective it has set for itself to make comprehensible and accessible the "fundamental and progressive" ideas which run through the studies currently flourishing in the four corners of the world concerning the history and the heritage of popular music...and the balance between theoretical and empirical contributions contributes to the relevance of the whole.
