This volume charts a new frontier of applied ethnomusicology by
highlighting the role of music in both inciting and resolving a
spectrum of social and political conflicts in the contemporary
world. Examining the materials and practices of music-making,
contributors detail how music and performance are deployed to
critique power structures and to nurture cultural awareness among
communities in conflict. The essays here range from musicological
studies to ethnographic analyses to accounts of practical
interventions that could serve as models for conflict resolution.
"Music and Conflict" reveals how musical texts are manipulated by
opposing groups to promote conflict and how music can be utilized
to advance conflict resolution. Speaking to the cultural
implications of globalization and pointing out how music can
promote a shared musical heritage across borders, the essays
discuss the music of Albania, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Egypt, Germany,
Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, North and South Korea, Uganda, the United
States, and the former Yugoslavia. The volume also includes dozens
of illustrations, including photos, maps, and musical scores.
Contributors are Samuel Araujo, William Beeman, Stephen Blum, Salwa
El-Shawan Castelo-Branco, David Cooper, Keith Howard, Inna
Naroditskaya, John Morgan O'Connell, Svanibor Pettan, Anne K.
Rasmussen, Adelaida Reyes, Anthony Seeger, Jane C. Sugarman, and
Britta Sweers.
