In what ways has the music industry had a hand in defining who or what is “American”? How do race and gender factor into this? What about technology? Give a broad and comprehensive answer that reflects back on the course as a whole. Then offer two (2) examples of artists, genres, or pieces that illustrate your point. Please be specific in your historical and cultural detail as well as in your analysis of sonic elements of your examples.
**The goal of this assignment is to tie together overarching themes from the course; think holistically about the relationship between music, culture, and politics; and draw connections between the various movements, artists, and musical styles we studied. Read each question carefully and answer it in its entirety, making sure to provide diverse examples to indicate the breadth and depth of your knowledge.
Outside references are permitted but not required. You should focus your energies on the course readings, media, lectures, and discussions.
Your writing should be well organized; written in clear, concise language; and free of spelling and grammatical errors. Exams should be typed, double-spaced, with 1″ margins, and in a standard 12pt font such as Times New Roman. Include proper citations for any quotes or paraphrases of sources, including lecture notes.
