Publisher Synopsis
Shortlisted for the 2016 ASAP Book Prize, Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present "This innovative sociological study of the Nashville music scene explores the business realities of an industry that has been radically changed by technology... His findings are encouraging because they reveal an environment in which many artists support one another in their quest for individualistic attainment."--Choice "Anyone who wishes to read a remarkably grounded analysis of how cultural work--in this case music--is changing, and about the roles of both artist entrepreneurs and trade union activists in pursuing a community-encompassing response, will find this book a wonderful read and an eye-opener for students in multiple fields: the sociology of occupations, the economics and sociology of the arts, arts management studies, industry studies, and labor relations. That Cornfield also offers a conceptual framework for thinking about structures and strategy is an extra plus."--Ann Markusen, ILR Review Read more...
