This book illustrates how ethnographic investigation of musical
performances might contribute to the analysis of diaspora. It
embraces diverse examples such as 'mourning and cultures of
survival' amongst Aboriginal and Jewish communities in Australia,
remembering a Kazakh 'homeland' in Western Mongolia, celebrating
Diwali in New Zealand and the circulation of musical performances
in Mozambique, Portugal and the UK. Some of the topics discussed in
Musical Performance in the Diaspora include: the expression and
shaping of diasporic and postcolonial identities through
performance; musical memory in diasporic contexts; the geographies
of performance; and the politics of 'new' forms of diasporic
music-making. This book presents a rich array of theoretical
approaches and wide-ranging ethnographic case studies to reconsider
and challenge discourses that have favoured uncritical notions of
diasporic 'hybridity' and to broaden current analyses of
performance in the diaspora.
