" Mapping the Beatreally does attempt to map out contemporary pop music in relation to the best and newest cultural and social theory. The collection as a whole would be useful for undergraduate courses- many of the pieces are short, accessible and offer a useful comparative source to place against the textbooks. For researchers, there is enough criting writing here to entice thoughtful reflection on Deleuze and Guattari or spatial ontologies and pop music." Bookends 1998.
