The Handbook represents a timely and important contribution to popular music studies during a significant period of theoretical and empirical growth and innovation in the field.
"The SAGE Handbook of Popular Music is a comprehensive, smartly-conceived volume that can take its place as the new standard reference in popular music. The editors have shown great care in covering classic debates while moving the field into new, exciting areas of scholarship. International in its focus and pleasantly wide-ranging across historical periods, the Handbook is accessible to students but full of material of interest to those teaching and researching in the field."
- Will Straw, Director, McGill University

Authoritative, expertly organized and absolutely up-to-date, this collection will instantly become the backbone of teaching and reseaerch across the Anglophone world and is certain to be cited for years to come."

This is a benchmark work which will be essential reading for educators and students in popular music studies, musicology, cultural studies, media studies and cultural sociology.
