Music has long served as an emblem of national identity in
educational systems throughout the world. Patriotic songs are
commonly considered healthy and essential ingredients of the school
curriculum, nurturing the respect, loyalty and 'good citizenship'
of students. But to what extent have music educators critically
examined the potential benefits and costs of nationalism?
Globalization in the contemporary world has revolutionized the
nature of international relationships, such that patriotism may
merit rethinking as an objective for music education. The fields of
'peace studies' and 'education for international understanding' may
better reflect current values shared by the profession, values that
often conflict with the nationalistic impulse. This is the first
book to introduce an international dialogue on this important
theme; nations covered include Germany, the USA, South Africa,
Australia, Finland, Taiwan, Singapore and Canada.
