Singing through the bars : prison songs ad identity markers and as cultural heritage

Om boken

Medverkande: Fred Lane (övers.)

Published by Svenskt visarkiv. Singing Through the Bars is a book about Swedish prison songs. Yet it is also a study of how people in vulnerable situations can use music to fashion a context and a sense of belonging; to express feelings and convey a message. The main source material is recordings that Svenskt visarkiv made in Swedish prisons in the 1960ies and 1970ies.
