Funky Nassau : sounding some themes in Bahamian music -- Muddy da water : provincializing the center, or recentering the periphery through rake-n-scrape -- Nassau by the sea : exporting the local, particularizing the region, and the sounds of goombay -- Gone ta bay : institutionalizing junkanoo, festivalizing the nation -- A new day dawning : cosmopolitanism, roots, and identity in the post-colony -- Back to the island : travels in paradox, creating the future-past
This volume examines the role music has played in the formation of the political and national identity of the Bahamas. Rommen analyzes Bahamian musical life as it has been influenced and shaped by the islands' location between the United States and the rest of the Caribbean; tourism; and Bahamian colonial and postcolonial history
