MUSI 2140 - Music of Multicultural America

Effective Date 03/09/2015
Examines a wide range of folk and ethnic musical traditions that have flourished in or impacted the United States. We ask how these traditions have fed into definitions of “American-ness” over the years, and whether recent trends represent signs of America’s transforming itself into a post-ethnic, post-racial society. Designed for non-music majors. No prerequisites. Musical literacy not assumed.
