World Music: Whose Music and Whose World?

Howard, Keith

Abstract

An investigation of commercialized and commodified world music, as it existed in 2010, using industry data as well as looking at ethnomusicological criticisms. Data was also culled from an on-line forum, with commentaries on my inaugural professorial lecture in 2008 and subsequent discussions of the issues raised. This paper was first presented as a keynote at the 2010 Cultural Diversity in Music Education conference in Sydney.
