Is there a growing homogenization of the world′s popular music? Or, conversely, is there a continuing and perhaps ever increasing diversity of song styles and forms? With a focus is on how the process of popular music production is perceived by local musicians, this book addresses this issue, testing the more conventional `cultural imperialism′ hypothesis by comparison with empirical findings from a study by the International Communication and Youth Culture Consortium.
