Bücher der Reihe Studies in the History and Soc

Thisvolume provides a transnational study of the impact of musical cultures inthe Eastern Baltics-Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and Russia-at theend of the Cold War and in the early post-Communist period.

This ten-chapter book explores how music and society are, and have been, intertwined and mutually influential. It examines the agents behind these connections: who determines musical cultures in society? Which social groups are represented in particular musical contexts? Which social groups are silenced or less well represented in music's histories, and why?
