Dhol - Drummers, Identities, and Modern Punjab (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days

An icon of global Punjabi culture, the dhol drum inspires an
unbridled love for the instrument far beyond its application to
regional vernacular music. Yet the identities of dhol players
within their local communities and the broadly conceived Punjabi
nation remain obscure. Gibb Schreffler draws on two decades of
research to investigate dhol's place among the cultural formations
within Punjabi communities. Analyzing the identities of musicians,
Schreffler illuminates concepts of musical performance, looks at
how these concepts help create or articulate Punjabi social
structure, and explores identity construction at the intersections
of ethnicity, class, and nationality in Punjab and the diaspora. As
he shows, understanding the identities of dhol players is an
ethical necessity that acknowledges their place in Punjabi cultural
history and helps to repair their representation. An engaging and
rich ethnography, Dhol reveals a beloved instrumental form and the
musical and social practices of its overlooked performers.
