The Garland Handbook of African Music

The Garland Handbook of African Music, Second Edition is a smaller textbook version of the comprehensive Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, Volume 1, Africa (1998). It is intended for undergraduate and graduate area studies courses in music, ethnomusicology, and anthropology. Like the original volume, its division into three sections (Introduction to Africa as a Musical Area, Issues and Processes in African Musics, and Music Cultures and Regions) enables students and their professors to cover a thorough range of material about African music within one text.
