Applied studies scholarship has triggered a not-so-quiet revolution
in the discipline of ethnomusicology. The current generation of
applied ethnomusicologists has moved toward participatory action
research, involving themselves in musical communities and working
directly on their behalf. The essays in The Oxford Handbook of
Applied Ethnomusicology, edited by Svanibor Pettan and Jeff Todd
Titon, theorize applied ethnomusicology, offer histories, and
detail practical examples with the goal of stimulating further
development in the field. The essays in the book, all newly
commissioned for the volume, reflect scholarship and data gleaned
from eleven countries by over twenty contributors. Themes and
locations of the research discussed encompass all world continents.
The authors present case studies encompassing multiple places;
other that discuss circumstances within a geopolitical unit, either
near or far. Many of the authors consider marginalized peoples and
communities; others argue for participatory action research. All
are united in their interest in overarching themes such as
conflict, education, archives, and the status of indigenous peoples
and immigrants. A volume that at once defines its field, advances
it, and even acts as a large-scale applied ethnomusicology project
in the way it connects ideas and methodology, The Oxford Handbook
of Applied Ethnomusicology is a seminal contribution to the study
of ethnomusicology, theoretical and applied.
