The Garland Handbook of Southeast Asian Music is comprised of
essays from The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music: Volume 4,
Southeast Asia (1998). Largely revised and updated, the essays
offer detailed, regional studies of the different musical cultures
of Southeast Asia and examine the ways in which music helps to
define the identity of this particular area. Part one provides an
in-depth introduction to the area of Southeast Asia and explores a
series of issues and processes, such as colonialism, mass media,
spirituality, and war. The articles in this section are important
in gaining historical, political, and social perspective. Part two
focuses on mainland Southeast Asia, with essays representing
Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Burma, Peninsular Malaysia, Vietnam,
Singapore, and the minority peoples of mainland Southeast Asia.
Part three focuses on island Southeast Asia, dividing the area into
three sections: Indonesia, the Philippines, and Borneo. In addition
to offering a detailed study of the music of each area, it also
offers recent perspectives on the gamelan and theater traditions of
Indonesia. Questions for Critical Thinking at the end of each major
section guide and focus attention on what issues - musical and
cultural - arise when one studies the music of Southeast Asia -
issues that might not occur in the study of other musics of the
world. An accompanying compact disc offers musical examples from
Southeast Asia.
