Disconnections : social dynamics in the spaces of music -- pt. IV. Topia of utopias. 520 This book offers an intriguing account of the complex and often contradictory relations between music and society in Freetown's past and present. Blending anthropological thought with ethnographic and historical research, it explores the conjunctures of music practices and social affiliations and the diverse patterns of social dis/ connections that music helps to shape, to (re)create, and to defy in Sierra Leone's capital Freetown. The first half of the book traces back the changing social relationships and the concurrent changes in the city's music life from the first days of the colony in the late 18th century up to the turbulent and thriving music scenes in the first decade of the 21st century. Grounded in this comprehensive historiography of Freetown's socio-musical palimpsest, the second half of the book puts forth a detailed ethnography of social dynamics in the realms of music, calibrating contemporary Freetown's social polyphony with its musical counterpart. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Popular music|zSierra Leone|zFreetown. 650 0 Popular music fans|zSierra Leone|zFreetown. 650 0 Discotheques|zSierra Leone|zFreetown. 650 0 Music|xSocial aspects. 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 08 |iPrint version:|aStasik, Michael.|tDisconnections. |dBamenda, Cameroon : Langaa Research & Pub.
