Dangdut Stories: A Social and Musical History of Indonesia's Most Popular Music
Weintraub, Andrew N. (Associate Professor of Music, Associate Professor of Music, University of Pittsburgh)
A keen critic of culture in modern Indonesia, Andrew N. Weintraub shows how a genre of Indonesian music called dangdut evolved from a debased form of urban popular music to a prominent role in Indonesian cultural politics and the commercial music industry. Dangdut Stories is a social and musical history of dangdut within a range of broader narratives about class, gender, ethnicity, and nation in post-independence Indonesia (1945-present).
