Fairclough, Dr. Kirsty, Alleyne, Professor or Dr. Mike

Prince’s position in popular culture has undergone only limited academic scrutiny.

It assesses Prince’s life and legacy holistically, exploring his multiple identities and the ways in which they were manifested through his recorded catalogue and audiovisual personae. In 17 essays organized thematically, the anthology includes a diverse range of contributions - taking ethnographic, musicological, sociological, gender studies and cultural studies approaches to analysing Prince’s career.
