Sampling Politics P
Sampling has become a predominantly digitalized practice. It was popularized with the rise of Rap and Hip-Hop, as well as ambient music scenes, but it has a history stretching back to the earliest days of sound recording and experimental music making around the world. Digital networks allow artists to sample music across national borders and cultural traditions with relative ease, prompting questions around not only fair use, copyright, and freedom of expression, but also cultural appropriation and "copywrongs." Based on archival research and musical analysis, alongside conversations with artists and their own public reflections, Sampling Politics provides ways to listen more closely and hear (again) music making.

Praise for this book
"The title establishes the framework: the act of sampling signifies not only a musical but also a political intention. As one would expect, the book examines many instances of sampling, but the global and historical breadth of the music considered here is impressive and even a bit daunting." -- B. J. Murray, CHOICE"This book beautifully explores the nuances of the cultural appropriation, misrepresentation, and erasure arising from unauthorized sampling in the music industry, and offers a deep dive into the theory and performance of the sampled non-Western musical traditions. A thoroughly researched, highly informative and engaging book." -- Johnny Farraj, musician and co-author of Inside Arabic Music"Sampling Politics is an innovative, thought-provoking, and thoughtful book. It helps us observe the intricacies of border crossing in the world of music as the fissures of contemporary politics. The recognition of the self within the other forms part of this politics, and in so doing allows us the 'interlocking sampling-timelines' so necessary to developing communities of practice. Distinguishing between relationships of music-in-the-making and music-in-the-taking, Franklin draws our attention to the everyday struggles of boundary un/making at the local, national, and global levels. In the contemporary political moment, when we seem more focused on the visual than the auditory, Franklin's book is a political corrective, urging us to listen closely, carefully, and most important of all, politically. I hope it will find a wide readership much beyond the study of politics and international relations." -- Shirin Rai, University of Warwick"Designed to provide music edification for an IR scholarly constituency, M. I. Franklin's superb book will serve well beyond that ambition. Extraordinarily knowledgeable about the musical fields it explores--treating sampling, cutting, remixing, re-textualizing--it makes connections that breach the boundaries of the theoretical thought world within which social science fields have been Âquarantined." -- Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawai'i, Manoa
