This book examines the post-1960s era of popular music in the
Anglo-Black Atlantic through the prism of historical theory and
methods. By using a series of case studies, this book mobilizes
historical theory and methods to underline different expressions of
alternative music functioning within a mainstream musical industry.
Each chapter highlights a particular theory or method while
simultaneously weaving it through a genre of music expressing a
notion of alternativity―an explicit positioning of one’s expression
outside and counter to the mainstream.
