FALL 2021, Section 003: For Indians, Pakistanis and other South Asians far from their homelands, native culture forms an essential part of their identity in the new environment. Among first-generation immigrants, traditional South Asian music was an important aspect of cultural retention, while second and later generations have created new musical expressions reflecting their dual identity as descendants of immigrants as well as nationals of their own homeland. This class focuses on the hybrid musical creations of emergent youth cultures, with particular emphasis on Bhangra-pop, the Asian Underground movement in 1990's Britain, and "desi" electronic party music in North America.
