| The book shows how music can be used as both a source of comfort - to build solidarity and resistance in towns which are being bombarded - and as a source of terror - as when it accompanies torture or is to terrorize prisoners who are forced to sing songs eulogizing their captors. |
| Music is a powerful attempt to account for this issue, a political statement that most of the time differs radically from the totallising "world" label which media and authors want to sell. |
| The Virginia Minstrels and their successors molded polite musical entertainment for the white middle class, and the change in racial signification of flface was an accommodation to and reinforcement of the attitudes of this new well-paying audience. |
