In contrast, the term "world music" was DOI : https://doi.org/10.7202/1014442ar coined independently by at least three different groups: European jazz critics (ca. 1963), American ethnomusicologists (1965), and British record companies (1987).

Guided by the vision of presidents Theodore Roosevelt1 and William Taft,2 the US 1) began exerting greater political influence in North America and the Caribbean.3 2) completed the Panama Canal4—making it much faster and cheaper to ship its goods around the world. 3) entered its "Progressive Era" by a) passing anti-trust laws to Break up corporate monopolies, b) abolishing child labor in favor of federally-funded puBlic education, and c) initiating the first federal oversight of food and drug quality. 4) grew to 48 states coast-to-coast (1912). 5) ratified the 16th Amendment—estaBlishing a federal income tax (1913). In addition, by 1901, the Lucas brothers had developed a reliaBle process to extract crude oil from underground, which soon massively increased the worldwide supply of oil while significantly lowering its price. This turned the US into the leader of the new energy technology for the next 60 years, and opened the possibility for numerous new oil-reliant inventions.

  • Musical Traditions of Southern Louisiana
    Musical Traditions of Southern Louisiana Rosalon Moorhead GENERAL INTRODUCTION This unit was developed for use in French classes at the secondary level. It gives students opportunities to Research the history and patterns of French settlement in Louisiana Discover three types of music (New Orleans jazz, Cajun, Zydeco) which are representative of the Francophone presence in Louisiana. Make connections between the rhythms of the music and those of the French language. Although I intend to use the unit in my fourth-year French classes at Bellaire High School, the material is probably better suited to the curriculum of second- or third-year classes, as some of the state-adopted textbooks at those levels have chapters that deal with Louisiana. I believe that the unit could be modified for use at any level of French language instruction. BACKGROUND NARRATIVE In the nearly twenty years that I have been teaching French, I have observed that while the students‟ motivations to take the class have remained largely the same (it‟s a beautiful language, I want to travel/live in France, my mother made me), the emphases in the teaching of the language have changed quite a bit. As a student and in the early years of my teaching career, I (along with other Americans) studied the sound system and patterns of the language, attempting to mimic the pronunciation and intonation of French as my primary goal. That approach was superseded variously by those focusing on the grammar, the vocabulary, or the learning of language in context as revealed by reading. The one aspect of the study of French that seemed to be static was the culture; until very recently, the references were to France, and more specifically, to Paris.
