"The field of ethnomusicology is changing, and this volume shows us how by engaging with historical, comparative, music psychological, popular music, and sound studies in addition to  other fields. The editors and authors sum up this entire field of study well, but also show that same field in motion. This volume is nothing short of a landmark moment in ethnomusicology." - Martin Stokes, King's College, London, author of Music and Citizenship
