Description:

“Longman Topics” are brief, attractive readers on a single, complex, but compelling topic. Featuring about 30 full-length selections, these volumes are generally half the size and half the cost of standard composition readers. Selections represent a broad variety of musical styles, including classical, rock-and-roll, punk, heavy metal, rap, hip-hop, and country. Selections present a variety of cultural themes, including the appeal of music, youth and morality, music and sexuality, race and gender, and consumerism. Controversial viewpoints invite the writing of argumentative essays. Anyone interested in studying the relationship between American music and culture.
