There is growing interest among scholars and practitioners in how
the arts can help rebuild post-conflict societies. This edited
collection explores a range of musical practices for social and
political peace. By presenting case studies in each chapter, the
aim is to engage with musicality in relation to time, space,
peace-building, healing, and reconciliation. Emerging scholars'
work on Latin America, especially Colombia, and on the African
Great Lakes region, including Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Kenya, is
brought together with the purpose of reflecting critically on
'music for peace-building' initiatives. Each author considers how
legacies of violence are addressed and sometimes overcome; lyrics
are examined as a source of insights. These practical "music for
peace-building" initiatives include NGO work with youth hip-hop,
music for peace, work in education on memory, as well as popular
culture and shared rituals. Special attention is paid to historical
and contextual settings, to the temporal and spatial dimension of
musicality and to youth and gender in peace-building through music.
