Description: About this Item The item is a book Paperback The Title is The Clash Takes on the World : Transnational Perspectives on The Only Band that Matters Condition New Other Comments Edition Number - 0001. Pages Count - 284. Binding type - Perfect. Content Language - English Product Description - On their debut, The Clash famously claimed to be "bored with the USA," but The Clash wasn't a parochial record. Mick Jones' licks on songs such as "Hate and War" were heavily influenced by classic American rock and roll, and the cover of Junior Murvin's reggae hit "Police and Thieves" showed that the band's musical influences were already wide-ranging. Later albums such as Sandinista! and Combat Rock saw them experimenting with a huge range of musical genres, lyrical themes and visual aesthetics. The Clash Takes on the World explores the transnational aspects of The Clash's music, lyrics and politics, and it does so from a truly transnational perspective. It brings together literary scholars, historians, media theorists, musicologists, social activists and geographers from Europe and the US, and applies a range of critical approaches to The Clash's work in order to tackle a number of key questions: How should we interpret their negotiations with reggae music and culture How did The Clash respond to the specific socio-political issues of their time, such as the economic recession, the Reagan-Thatcher era and burgeoning neoliberalism, and international conflicts in Nicaragua and the Falkland Islands How did they reconcile their anti-capitalist stance with their own success and status as a global commodity And how did their avowedly inclusive, multicultural stance, reflected in their musical diversity, square with the experience of watching the band in performance The Clash Takes on the World is essential reading for scholars, students and general readers interested in a band whose popularity endures.
