Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book brings together a significant part of the Derek B. Scott's diverse academic work, showing that the cultural history of music matters not only for the understanding it can bring to the meaning and purpose of music-making, but also because it can play a role in the development of social justice and a democratic culture.
MoreLong description:
This book brings together a significant part of the Derek B. Scott's diverse academic work, showing that the cultural history of music matters not only for the understanding it can bring to the meaning and purpose of music-making, but also because it can play a role in the development of social justice and a democratic culture.
Where music history is concerned, Scott argues that we should offer interpretations that question the extent to which critics and historians have prized ethnicity and nationality in artistic works. No branch of the arts furnishes more examples of borrowing, re-using and appropriating across cultures than music, and this is especially evident today in forms of popular music on all continents around the world. The global and the local are not the oppositional entities they once were. A history that focuses on cosmopolitanism resonates with the world in which we now live: a world of migration and tourism, involving the constant transfer, exchange, translation, and adaptation of different cultural practices and artifacts. Most of the articles in the collection have previously been published in hard-to-find conference proceedings and edited volumes or have not been published at all.
The book will be important for those studying musicology, music history (especially of popular music styles) and cosmopolitanism.
