  The Fall of the Berlin Wall -...

  The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the dramatic end of an era that had shaped global politics for nearly half a century. The Cold War, a period of intense ideological, political, and military tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, had divided the world into two distinct blocs. At the heart of this division stood Germany, and within it, the iconic Berlin Wall—a physical symbol of the separation between East and West. For much of the post-World War II period, this wall was not just a barrier dividing a city but a vivid representation of the ideological conflict between communism and capitalism, between Soviet control and Western freedom.  
  The Cold War began shortly after the end of World War II, as the victorious Allied powers, particularly the United States and the Soviet Union, emerged as the world's superpowers. The ideological rift between these two nations—one advocating for a free-market economy and democracy, the other for a centrally controlled, one-party state—became a defining feature of global politics. The division of Germany into East and West in 1949 symbolized the larger division between East and West, and Berlin, split into sectors controlled by the Allies, became the focal point of this division. 
  The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to prevent East Germans from fleeing to the West. It quickly became one of the most visible manifestations of the Cold War. The wall separated families, prevented personal freedoms, and symbolized the repressive nature of the East German regime. For decades, it seemed an unmovable part of the geopolitical landscape. However, by the late 1980s, the winds of change were beginning to stir. Gorbachev’s reforms in the Soviet Union, including policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), sparked a wave of political change throughout Eastern Europe. As these reforms loosened Soviet control, the call for more political freedom and reform became louder in East Germany.

  Every year, on a weekend before Christmas, the small Caribbean island of Carriacou, Grenada, holds its annual Parang Festival, featuring concerts, performances of local quadrille dance, Hosannah band (a cappella singing) competitions, and the climactic string band competition. Born in the years leading up to Grenada's 1979 Socialist Revolution, the Parang Festival today offers a vehicle for Carriacouans to articulate and assert a progressive understanding of local cultural identity as well as a regional, pan-Caribbean belonging. Rebecca S. Miller examines the varying impact that factors such as cultural ambivalence, globalization, and technology have had on the performance of Carriacou's folk and traditional music and dance forms. Using archival sources and current ethnography, she illuminates the enduring significance of the Parang Festival to illustrate the social and political history of Carriacou as well as this culture's contemporary process of modernization. The book includes a web link allowing the reader to listen to a variety of musical examples.
