Building on previous work documenting musical genre forms in the United States,
this exploratory study reports the discovery of a new type, which the authors term
the politically purposed genre. They find two major types: those sponsored by
governments, which benefit from national distribution and legal protection, and an
anti–status quo type supported by an opposition party or constituency that shares
its critique of the existing sociopolitical and economic order. Four nation-cases have
been examined: the People’s Republic of China, Chile, Serbia, and Nigeria. The
authors examine each case in turn and close with a discussion of the limitations and
possibilities of this discovery.
