Inhaltsangabe

<div>Bluegrass has found an unlikely home, and avid following, in the Czech Republic. The music&#8217;s emergence in Central Europe places it within an increasingly global network of communities built around bluegrass activities.<br> &#160;<br> Lee Bidgood offers a fascinating study of the Czech bluegrass phenomenon that merges intimate immersion in the music with on-the-ground fieldwork informed by his life as a working musician. Drawing on his own close personal and professional interactions, Bidgood charts how Czech bluegrass put down roots and looks at its performance as a uniquely Czech musical practice. He also reflects on &#8220;Americanist&#8221; musical projects and the ways Czech musicians use them to construct personal and social identities. Bidgood sees these acts of construction as a response to the Czech Republic&#8217;s postsocialist environment but also to US cultural prominence within our global mediascape.<br> &#160;</div>
