Description
Music in the Post-9/11 World explores how music has responded to and shaped public attitudes towards the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This collection of twelve essays examines diverse musical responses from around the world, including lesser-known works by artists in countries such as Afghanistan, Egypt, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, and Senegal. The book also delves into themes that reveal music's role in expressing, shaping, and contesting public opinion on this defining event. Topics include the use of Western classical music in rites of mourning and commemoration, the creation of television news music, and the impact of implicit censorship in mainstream media. Through its interdisciplinary approach and international scope, Music in the Post-9/11 World presents a powerful examination of music's central role in public discourse following 9/11.
