Contiene: The essays in this book explore the encounters of European, American and African cultures through the prism of music and performance. Combining musicological analysis, cultural criticism, and an array of illustrations they discuss the instruments, dance and music of the precontact world and then reveal the immediate and resounding impacts of 1942 through to today. As these essays argue , the musical and performing arts can reflect a culture's changing world view as well as its struggles for identity and survival.
