About the Book

Made in Scotland: Studies in Popular Music serves as a comprehensive and thorough introduction to the history, politics, culture, and musicology of twentieth- and twenty-first-century popular music in Scotland. The volume consists of essays by local experts and leading scholars in Scottish music and culture, and covers the major figures, styles, and social contexts of popular music in Scotland. Each essay provides adequate context so readers understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance. The book includes a general introduction to Scottish popular music, followed by essays organized into three thematic sections: Histories, Politics and Policies, and Futures and Imaginings. Examining music as cultural expression in a country that is both a nation and a region within a larger state, this volume uses popular music to analyse Scottishness, independence, and diversity and offers new insights into the complexity of cultural identity, the power of historical imagination, and the effects of power structures in music. It is a vital read for scholars and students interested in how popular music interacts with and shapes such issues both within and beyond the borders of Scotland.

Review :
"Edited by Simon Frith, Martin Cloonan and John Williamson, this fascinating collection of essays from both academics, practitioners and cultural facilitators brings to life the ways that popular music is used by modern Scots to explore and perform a distinctive identity. As a description of the affiliations of modern Scottish popular music, this is a persuasive and coherent collection of essays." —Jane Pettegree, Soundyngs: Conversations on the History of Scottish Music "Simon Frith, Martin Cloonan and John Williamson, as well as contributing to the book themselves, have edited a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to the history, politics and culture of popular music in Scotland. In a series of essays and interviews which are organised into three themes, Histories; Politics and Policies; and Futures and Imaginings, they lay out an examination of Scotland’s popular music within the context of Scotland being both a nation but also a part of the UK, and how that impacts on the complexity of our cultural identity, the history, and the effects of the power structures in music. Made in Scotland: Studies in Popular Music is a must have reference book for anyone interested in popular music, here in Scotland and beyond." —Sheena Macdonald, The Drouth
