I forgot to answer this - the literature here is quite vast, but again mostly written from a liberal perspective. Amongst the best earlier writings you might approach would be John Blacking - How Musical is Man? (Blacking was an ethnomusicologist who spent much time studying Vendan African music) and Christopher Small - Musiking: The Meanings of Performing and Listening, and Music, Society, Education. More recent book to which I'm less sympathetic would be Georgina Born and David Hesmondhalgh - Western Music and its Others: Difference, Representation and Appropriation in Music, and Tia DeNora - Music in Everyday Life. Also Susan McClary and Richard Leppert (eds) - Music and Society: The Politics of Composition, Performance and Reception, and various essays in Nicholas Cook and Mark Everist (eds) - Rethinking Music.
