Reviews

"This hefty tome...strives to be a comprehensive history of a field and to represent the breadth of work in which applied ethnomusicologists engage...Recommended."--Choice
"Assured in tone and ambitious in scope, this hefty tome signals the arrival of what has been long awaited by many in the field: a leading and legitimizing voice, a chorus of praise singing in fact, for the public ethnomusicologist as curator of explicit social action agendas influencing the sustainability of local music cultures on a global scale ... With this handbook on the shelf of your local college music library, there's every reason to believe that
future ethnomusicologists- in training will have a strong theoretical resource that makes the case for continued "meddling" as a career option. It's a hopeful prospect." --he Society for Ethnomusicology
