Omschrijving
Using the framework of Edward Said’s Orientalism, this work examines how Western rock and pop artists—particularly during the age of album rock from the 1970s through the 1990s—perpetuated long-held stereotypes of Japan in their direct encounters with the country and in songs and music videos with Japanese content.
This knowledgeable, lovingly-written, accessible book records the many ways orientalist stereotypes of Japan have influenced American and British rock musicians during the “Age of Album Rock” (1960s–1990s) and beyond, as heard in their songs, seen on their album covers, enacted on their concerts at the Budokan, performed in photographs and music videos, and reported by journalists.
