Cross-Cultural Musicology from Asia-Pacific Perspectives

Cross-Cultural Musicology from Asia-Pacific Perspectives

brings together thirteen scholars to consider what it means to teach, research, write, and talk about music history in the context of globalization.

The book is divided into essays with a more critical and theoretical emphasis (Part 1) and more practically oriented chapters (Part 2), with case studies and a discussion of methods.

Bringing together scholars in historical musicology, historical performance practice, and cultural studies from across four continents, this book models diverse ways of carrying out cross-cultural musicology.

Cross-Cultural Musicology from Asia-Pacific Perspectives will be of interest to scholars and teachers of ethnomusicology and music history, as well as those concerned with the particular context and history of the Asia-Pacific region.
