Reviews

A fine collection of essays that present Asian music as forming along a diverse array of continuums of interconnections: between local and global, east and west, elite and popular, ethnic identity claims, ritual and entertainment, human and nature, self and other, and imagined notions of community. The ethnographic studies and theoretical analyses here offer a new scope of understanding Asian music that defies fixed boundaries. - Joys H. Y. Cheung, Graduate Institute of Ethnomusicology, National Taiwan Normal University This is an essential resource for scholars of Asian music. With contributions from a diverse group of internationally renowned academics, the chapters push beyond bounded understandings of musical communities by foregrounding social interaction and cultural exchange. These rich case studies are organised around key contemporary themes that will help to invigorate debate on music and society in Asia. - Lonan O Briain, Department of Music, University of Nottingham
