Reviews

"Through the 1990s, Philip Hayward has been the driving force behind popular music studies in Australia...[This publication is] a significant milestone and achievement....The strength of the collection lies in the layering up of a sense of community of inquiry, and the fostering of an intertextual head of steam, grounded in a set of empirical, rather than theoretical, concerns."--The Contemporary Pacific
