A black cow leads the members of a South Indian hill tribe, the
Kotas, to the Nilgiri Hills and, with its hoof, indicates where to
found each village. This footprint acts as a moral center of
gravity, an important place for music-making, dancing, and other
rituals. Places such as this, and moments in time, serve as
physical and moral "anchors" for the Kota community. In this book,
Richard K. Wolf explores how the Kotas "anchor" their musical and
other activities around places and significant moments in time and,
in the process, constitute themselves as individuals and as a
group. This volume also includes a CD of Richard Wolf's Kota field
recordings.
