	2001 Conference - Abstracts - Kenneth Bilby
		The present paper extends the continuum concept to the analysis of musical phenomena, using it to explore the relationship between recent musical developments and the larger social, political, and economic changes that have been affecting Maroon peoples in Suriname and neighboring French Guiana.
		A given music may be neither traditional nor popular in the conventional sense, but rather may vary along a stylistic continuum, the points of which connect not only to one another but to a variety of rural and urban, local and global, traditional and commercial contexts and fields.
		This way of conceptualizing distinctive but cognate musical forms—as socially situated points along stylistic continua rather than as separate, self-contained traditions—is likely to prove equally useful in other parts of the Afro-Atlantic world where major political and economic confrontations and transformations have been eroding the boundaries between the old and the new.
