White power music is music that promotes white nationalism and expresses racism against non-whites. It encompasses various music styles, including pop, rock, country, experimental music, amateur rap and folk.〔Messner, Beth A., Art Jipson, Paul J. Becker and Bryan Byers. 2007.("The Hardest Hate: A Sociological Analysis of Country Hate Music: From Rebel Records to Prussian Blue: A History of White Racialist Music in the United States" ). ''Popular Music and Society''. 30(4):513-531.〕〔 Ethnomusicologist Benjamin R. Teitelbaum argues that white power music "can be defined by lyrics that demonize variously conceived non-whites and advocate racial pride and solidarity. Most often, however, insiders conceptualized white power music as the combination of those themes with pounding rhythms and a charging punk or metal-based accompaniment."〔Teitelbaum, Benjamin R. "Saga's Sorrow: Femininities of Despair in the Music of Radical White Nationalism. Ethnomusicology 58(3). http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.5406/ethnomusicology.58.3.0405?uid=3739552&uid=2129&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&uid=3739256&sid=21104646223091〕 Specific white power music genres include Nazi punk, Rock Against Communism, hatecore and National Socialist black metal.〔Pulera, Dominic J.,''Sharing the Dream: White Males in a Multicultural America'', pp. 309-311.〕 Barbara Perry writes that contemporary white supremacist groups include "subcultural factions that are largely organized around the promotion and distribution of racist music."〔Perry, Barbara, ''Hate Crimes'' (Greenwood Publishing Group, 2009) ISBN 0-275-99569-0, ISBN 978-0-275-99569-0, pp. 51-2.〕 According to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission "racist music is principally derived from the far-right skinhead movement and, through the Internet, this music has become perhaps the most important tool of the international neo-Nazi movement to gain revenue and new recruits."〔("Racist Music: Publication, Merchandising and Recruitment" ), ''Cyber racism'' ,Race Discrimination Unit, HREOC, October 2002.〕〔Rooney, Anne, ''Race Hate''(Evans Brothers, 2006), ISBN 0-237-52717-0, ISBN 978-0-237-52717-4, p. 29.〕 An article in ''Popular Music and Society'' says "musicians believe not only that music could be a successful vehicle for their specific ideology but that it also could advance the movement by framing it in a positive manner."〔 Dominic J. Pulera writes that the music is more pervasive in Europe than it is in the United States, despite many European countries banning or curtailing its distribution.〔 European governments regularly deport "extremist aliens", ban white power bands and raid organizations that produce and distribute the music.〔 In the United States, racist music is protected freedom of speech in the United States by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.〔Eatwell, Roger and Cas Mudde, ''Western democracies and the new extreme right challenge'' (Psychology Press, 2004) ISBN 0-415-36971-1, ISBN 978-0-415-36971-8, pp. 54-5.〕 ==White power country music== Country music has spawned several subgenres, including white racist country music — also referred to as ''segregationist music'' — which came about in response to the American civil rights movement.〔〔Malone, 2000a, 2002b.〕 The songs expressed resistance to the federal government and civil rights advocates who were challenging well-established white supremacist practices endemic in the Southern United States.〔 There were also changes in the music recording industry in the 1940s and 1950s that allowed regional recording companies to form across the United States, addressing small specialized markets.〔Tucker, 1985.〕 B.C. Malone writes: "the struggles waged by black Americans to attain economic dignity and racial justice provided one of the ugliest chapters in country music history, an outpouring of racist records on small labels, mostly from Crowley, Louisiana, which lauded the Ku Klux Klan and attacked African Americans in the most vicious of stereotypical terms."〔〔Malone (2002a), p. 317.〕 The artists often adopted pseudonyms, and some of their music was "highly confrontational, making explicit use of racial epithets, stereotypes and threats of violence against civil rights activists.〔 Much of the music "featured blatantly racist stereotypes that dehumanized African Americans", equating them with animals or by "using cartoonish imagery associated with "Jigaboos"".〔Messner, Becker, Jipson, and Byers (2007)〕 Lyrics warned of "white violence" on African Americans if they insisted on being treated as equals.〔Messner, et al., 2007.〕 Other songs were more subtle, couching racist messages behind social critiques and political action calls.〔 The lyrics, in the tradition of right-wing populism, questioned the legitimacy of the federal government and rallied whites to protect "Southern rights" and traditions.〔 The song "Black Power" includes the lyrics: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White power music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
