Postcolonial Readings of Music in World Literature: Turning Empire on Its Ear. New York, NY: Routledge, 2013. Print.
This book reads representations of Western music in literary texts to reveal the ways in which artifacts of imperial culture function within contemporary world literature. Bushnell argues that Western music’s conventions for performance, composition, and listening, established during the colonial period, persist in postcolonial thought and practice.
