Sounds and the city. - Volume 2

This volume draws from a rich history of scholarship about the relations between music and cities, and the global flows between music and urban experience.

The contributions in this collection comment on the global city as a nexus of moving people, changing places, and shifting social relations, asking what popular music can tell us about cities, and vice versa.

Since the publication of the first 'Sounds and the City' volume, various movements, changes and shifts have amplified debates about globalisation.

From the waves of people migrating to Europe from the Syrian civil war and other conflict zones, to the 2016 'Brexit' vote to leave the European Union and American presidential election of Donald Trump.
