This volume will be unique in that it will provide an overview of each group’s history in America, their current societal and music industry state, and possible solutions, with care taken to give voice to scholars from each community. An example of the need for this work comes from the African American community, where rappers have been consistently jailed for rap lyrics since the 1980s based on the assumption that rap was started by gang members. This shows the power of untrue societal assumptions in affecting laws that negatively affect a group, even though they are based on untruths that are perpetuated by executives – focusing mainly on the bottom line of their company - control of culture and social learning through media. Showing a lack of artistic autonomy, artists who sign with major labels often protest the content they are asked to create and release but must comply or remain in predatory contracts. Outside of sociology and media studies, which give broad overviews of each segment, there is no book that presents readers with historical documentation, a view of each group from multiple vantage points (internal and external), and how their history and social perceptions intersect in the music industry system to create crystalized pieces of culture that are filtered through the lens of Capitalism.
