Primarily for courses in American music, popular music, or rock music; and also appropriate for courses in ethnic studies. Through a blended historical, ethnic, and musical approach, with a strong contemporary focus and the inclusion of a wide variety of musical styles from American society's broad ethnic groups, this text meets the needs of the new generation of faculty and students by more accurately reflecting the diverse musical traditions of the United States. Elizabeth Barkley wrote this book to meet the needs of today,s more diverse student population. Returning to the classroom after nine years as an academic Dean, she was aware of the student demographic changes, but unprepared for the pedagogical implications of those changes. As she struggled to engage her students in a traditional music survey course, they looked bored and apathetic and it was then that she knew she had to find a better way. As a result, she created a new course called The Musics of Multicultural America, based on her analysis that an important characteristic that seemed to unify her students was "Americanness." Working with UC Berkeley,s Center for the Study of American Cultures, she developed a course that traced a variety of contemporary musics such as rock 'n, roll, salsa, gospel, blues, jazz, Cajun, zydeco, and Tejano from their roots in the music traditions of immigrant groups to their hybridization and development into uniquely new American musics. Soon her classes were filled with enthusiastic students who had enrolled on the recommendation of former students, friends and counselors. The traditional survey course had averaged anywhere from 40 to 60 students per year; in 2005-06, the capped annual enrollment was at 1,250. This textbook is the result of her work developing materials for that course.

读完这本书,我感到一种久违的沉静和深刻。它并非那种让你拍案叫绝的爽文,而更像是一部需要细细品味的文学作品。文字功底极为扎实,很多段落的意象组合,读起来颇有诗歌的韵律感,尤其对环境和氛围的描写,简直是大师手笔。我仿佛能闻到故事中那些老旧街道上的潮湿气息,能感受到角色内心深处那份难以言喻的孤独。它探讨的议题宏大而深远,涉及时间、记忆和身份认同,读的时候常常需要停下来,反复咀嚼那些富有哲理性的句子,思考它们与自身经历的关联。这种内观式的阅读体验,让我感觉不仅仅是在看一个故事,更像是在进行一场深刻的自我对话。
评分说实话,一开始我对这类题材并不抱太大期望,总觉得会有些故作高深,但这本书完全颠覆了我的看法。它的结构设计极其精巧,采用了多重叙事视角,不同时间线和不同人物的口述交织在一起,构建出一个立体而庞大的世界观。最妙的是,作者处理信息的方式非常高明,没有一次性倾泻所有背景信息,而是像剥洋葱一样,层层递进,吊足了读者的胃口。我花了相当大的精力去梳理人物关系和时间轴,但这种“挑战”本身就构成了阅读乐趣的一部分。到最后,当所有碎片拼凑完整时,那种智力上的满足感是无与伦比的。
评分如果用一个词来形容这本书的整体观感,那大概是“宿命感”的重量。作者构建的世界观充满了宿命论的色彩,人物似乎总是在重复着历史的错误,或者说,他们被某种看不见的力量推着向前。但有趣的是,尽管充满了宿命的压抑感,这本书却从未让人感到绝望。相反,它在描绘无力反抗的同时,也展现了人类在绝境中爆发出的微小而坚韧的光芒。这种在黑暗中寻找希望的叙事基调,非常打动我。它没有提供廉价的答案,而是教会我们如何在已知必然的结局面前,依然努力活出意义。看完后久久不能平复,感觉自己好像经历了一场漫长而艰辛的旅程。
评分这本书的叙事节奏简直让人欲罢不能,作者对人物心理的刻画细腻入微,每一个转折都出人意料却又合乎情理。我尤其欣赏它在探讨人性复杂性上所展现出的勇气,没有简单地将角色标签化,而是让我们看到了在困境中挣扎、选择的真实人性的多面性。开篇那段关于命运与自由意志的思辨,一下子就将我拉入了故事的核心,仿佛作者在用一种近乎哲学辩论的方式,引导着读者去反思自己的人生轨迹。情节的推进并不急躁,而是像一位技艺高超的织布匠,将线索和伏笔巧妙地编织在一起,直到最后一刻才揭开全貌,那种豁然开朗的震撼感,是近些年来阅读体验中少有的。
评分这本书的对话部分尤其精彩,简直可以作为剧本的范本来看待。角色的声音鲜明独特,你几乎不需要看名字就知道是谁在说话。那种充满张力的交锋、欲言又止的微妙情感,都被精准地捕捉并记录了下来。我特别喜欢其中两位主角之间那种爱恨交织、相互依存又相互折磨的关系,他们的每一次对话都充满了潜台词,你必须全神贯注才能捕捉到他们真正想要表达的东西。这种对白艺术的展现,让整个故事的张力始终维持在一个很高的水平线上,读起来丝毫没有冗余感,每一个字都仿佛是精心挑选过的。
