"Through archival work and storytelling synthesis, Music Migration and Imperial New York revises, subverts, and supplements many inherited narratives about experimental music and arts in postwar New York into a sweeping new whole. From the urban street-level via music clubs and arts institutions to the world-making routes of global migration and exchange, this book seeks to redraw the geographies of experimental art and so to reveal the imperial dynamics, as well as profoundly racialized and gendered power relations, that shaped and continue to shape the discourses and practices of modern music in the United States. Beginning with the material conditions of power that structured the cityscape of New York in the early Cold War years (ca. 1957 to 1963), Brigid Cohen's book encompasses a considerably wider range of people and practices than is usual in studies of the music of this period.

The nine ethnomusicologists who contributed to this volume present a diverse range of views, approaches, and methodologies that address indigenous peoples, immigrants, and marginalized communities. Discussing participatory action research, social justice, empowerment, and critical race theory in relation to ethnomusicology, De-Colonization, Heritage, and Advocacy is the second of three paperback volumes derived from the original Oxford Handbook of Applied Ethnomusicology. The Handbook can be understood as an applied ethnomusicology project: as a medium of getting to know the thoughts and experiences of global ethnomusicologists, of enriching general knowledge and understanding about ethnomusicologies and applied ethnomusicologies in various parts of the world, and of inspiring readers to put the accumulated knowledge, understanding, and skills into good use for the betterment of our world.

A tres bandas ofrece, de la mano de 23 prestigiosos especialistas, un completo panorama de la compleja realidad de la música latinoamericana, fruto de cinco siglos de mestizaje, sincretismo e hibridación. De Argentina a México, de la música de salón a las expresiones musicales de los mapuche, de la zamacueca al rock, se invita al lector a realizar un apasionante viaje a partir de dos ejes fundamentales: un repaso histórico y crítico de la mezcla de razas, creencias y fusiones ocurrida en la convergencia de las culturas africana, indígena e hispánica, y el resultado de dicho proceso en las ciudades, instrumentos y prácticas sociales vinculadas a la música.
