Research on the region's culture has largely followed national narratives created by political and economic institutions, even as cultural life in the regionwhich spans a large area of northern Europe and the North Atlanticdisplays more complex geographies and evolving global dynamics. As the first of its kind,
The Oxford Handbook of Popular Music in the Nordic Countries
offers a series of exemplary studies of music in these transnational dynamics in the specific context of the region's cultures and natural environments, written by the foremost experts in the field. Chapters highlight and challenge music's place in exotic images of the North and in transnational environmentalism, tourism, racism, and media industries. The
Handbook
illustrates how transnational dynamics evolve and shape musical life and the institutional spheres of policy, education, and research.
