This is a study of the fate of the music industry in 12 small nations; Jamaica, Trinidad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Chile, and Wales. Each has its own very distinctive music culture. But w hat happens when the giant transnational companies move in, when electronic technology arrives, spreading with it mass produced pop and making piracy simple. This uniquely well-researched investigation-the only comparative study of the modern music indus try's global operations-is based on a three-year research project, administered by the University of Gethenburg, Sweden. It is both informative and shocking.
