Based on extensive research in India and Pakistan, this new study
examines the ways drumming and voices interconnect over vast areas
of South Asia and considers what it means for instruments to be
voice-like and carry textual messages in particular contexts.
Richard K. Wolf employs a hybrid, novelistic form of presentation
in which the fictional protagonist Muharram Ali, a man obsessed
with finding music he believes will dissolve religious and
political barriers, interacts with Wolf's field consultants, to
communicate ethnographic and historical realities that transcend
the local details of any one person's life. The result is a daring
narrative that follows Muharram Ali on a journey that explores how
the themes of South Asian Muslims and their neighbors coming
together, moving apart, and relating to God and spiritual
intermediaries resonate across ritual and expressive forms such as
drumming and dancing.
