Music has long served as an emblem of national identity in educational systems throughout the world. Patriotic songs are commonly considered healthy and essential ingredients of the school curriculum; nurturing the respect; loyalty and good citizenship of students. But to what extent have music educators critically examined the potential benefits and costs of nationalism? Globalization in the contemporary world has revolutionized the nature of international relationships; such that patriotism may merit rethinking as an objective for music education. The fields of peace studies and education for international understanding may better reflect current values shared by the profession; values that often conflict with the nationalistic impulse. This is the first book to introduce an international dialogue on this important theme; nations covered include Germany; the USA; South Africa; Australia; Finland; Taiwan; Singapore and Canada.

Cant get enough of Nicki!By Portia Lane MartinJust when you think youve seen or read all you can on Nicki Minaj. entertainment industry insider Isoul Harris pens Nicki Minaj: Hip Hop Moments for Life. I genuinely love chapter 6 God Gave Me Style. Its a great spin on her fashion sense and inspirations including Grace Jones. Cyndi Lauper and Boy George. This is an awesome gift for the Barbz and Ken Barbz for certain!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Barbs Must Have...By B P ThomasIve followed the authors writing career from the beginning - he was writing for Rolling Out magazine when I stumbled upon his work. Later. he wrote for People. Peach. 944. Upscale and Uptown magazines. He masterfully wrote for those lifestyle magazines. and he had a way of enticing his readers. I always felt like I was tasting foods he described. listening to the music he covered. or like I was speaking with the pop artist (of the moment) that he was interviewing. This book is the natural progression of an artist. a writer who curated his career. The result? This book. His style is just as colorful and vivid as I remember. Great piece. Great book. The Barbs would be proud...
