Small Musical Worlds in the Mediterranean is a pioneering
book-length study of the complex topics of identity, ethnicity and
global processes in children's musical lives in the Republic of
Cyprus - a Mediterranean country during its post-colonial era. What
is it about this country's musical enculturation that made musical
identity such a potent element in Greek Cypriot children's worlds?
How is history, tradition, modernity, ethnic fluidity, syncretism
and diversification in the Mediterranean negotiated in the
construction of musical 'self' and 'other' in children's daily
lives? This book, through a journey of 'fieldwork at home',
discusses how children select, reject, reproduce and transform
meanings and create new ones at the micro-level of their lives
through which individuals and groups define themselves and others.
Towards this exploration, musical identity in childhood is
discussed in terms of cultural production and reproduction, human
expression, inter-relating and learning. Ethnographic vignettes of
children's musical practices and direct words add depth and humour
to the flow of the book. This study is a synthesis of
ethnomusicology, musical anthropology, education and folklore in
which the author effectively weaves together theories of musical
enculturation and identity, sociocultural learning and human
agency. The book will be invaluable to scholars interested in
musical enculturation, musical identities, children's contextual
musical practices, ethnicity, globalization studies, music
education and Mediterranean studies.
