Framing timely and pressing questions concerning music and cultural
rights, this collection illustrates the ways in which music--as a
cultural practice, a commercial product, and an aesthetic form--has
become enmeshed in debates about human rights, international law,
and struggles for social justice. The essays in this volume examine
how interpretations of cultural rights vary across societies; how
definitions of rights have evolved; and how rights have been
invoked in relation to social struggles over cultural access, use,
representation, and ownership. The individual case studies, many of
them based on ethnographic field research, demonstrate how musical
aspects of cultural rights play out in specific cultural contexts,
including the Philippines, China, Hawaii, Peru, Ukraine, and
Brazil. Contributors are Nimrod Baranovitch, Adriana Helbig, Javier
F. Leon, Ana Maria Ochoa, Silvia Ramos, Helen Rees, Felicia
Sandler, Amy Ku'uleialoha Stillman, Ricardo D. Trimillos, Andrew N.
Weintraub, and Bell Yung.
