Reviews
'Focusing primarily on popular music, Crossley (sociology, Univ. of Manchester, UK) provides an in-depth study of music's place in the social world. In investigating this matter, he shows the relationship to be far more complex than people involved with music might suppose. He explores his concept of what he terms "music worlds," drawing on and critiquing ideas from fields such as relational sociology and semiotics as well as music-specific fields. He makes significant use of Christopher Small's term "musicking" as he seeks to define music and explain how various types of music function in, influence, and are influenced by society. The nine chapters provide detailed discussions of topics such as music as social interaction, music's economic aspects, definitions of mainstream and alternative music, social networking involving music, meaning in music, societal forces influencing musical taste, and societal diversity and politics in musical genres. Although Crossley names musical artists and pieces of music in his discussions, he does not provide musical analysis. This scholarly and meticulously documented work is best suited to specialists in sociology, sociology of music, and cultural studies.' (Reprinted with permission from Choice Reviews.

Synopsis
Crossley argues that music is a form of social interaction, interwoven in the fabric of society and in constant interplay with its other threads. Musical interactions are often also economic interactions, for example, and sometimes political interactions. They can be forms of identity work, for both individuals and collectives, contributing to the reproduction or bridging of social divisions. Successive chapters of the book track and explore these interplays, in each case combining a critical consideration of existing literature with the development of an original, 'relational' approach to music sociology. The result is a grand sociological vision of music which captures not only music's context but 'the music itself'. The book will appeal to social scientists, musicologists and cultural scholars more widely., An original and compelling account of the social nature of music and its interplay with the wider society to which it belongs. Crossley explores the doing and meanings of music, as well as its interface with economic, political and wider social structures., Crossley argues that music is a form of social interaction, interwoven in the fabric of society and in constant interplay with its other threads.
