Abstract:
|
This is an ethnographic study of Asian American musicians in the American independent rock scene. As the second or later generations of Asian immigrants, they are trying to find their own voice and speak for the concerns of their community. Looking for Asian solidarity, they sometimes reach beyond national boundaries, making a revitalized connection with Asian 'homelands.' A new kind of diaspora that emerges from these musicians' efforts can be interpreted as a sign of global culture. Although the medium of rock music is not particularly well-suited for defining a racial minority's identity, Asian American indie rock is growing fast as a musicians' community. |
