Description: Presenting a range of ethnographic case studies from around the globe, this edited collection offers new ways of thinking about the interconnectivity of gender, place, and emotion in musical performance.
Review Quotes: Open this book and you will find how deeply essential the study of gender is in music and dance. The pages will turn quickly -- and I believe you will be struck by how the multiple themes elegantly intertwine throughout the book, yet also reveal the particulars of diverse genres and settings.--Tomie Hahn, ethnomusicologist and author of Sensational Knowledge: Embodying Culture through Japanese Dance
