Music and Displacement Diasporas, Mobilities, and Dislocations in Europe and Beyond

The grand narratives of European music history are informed by the dichotomy of placements and displacements, yet musicology has thus far largely ignored the phenomenon of displacement and underestimated its significance for musical landscapes and music history. As a pioneering volume in the Europea: Ethnomusicologies and Modernities series, Music and Displacement: Diasporas, Mobilities, and Dislocations in Europe and Beyond fills this gap as it explores the interactions between music and displacement in theoretical and practical terms. Distinguished international scholars contribute a wide range of case studies, incorporating art, popular, folk and jazz music and interacting with areas such as gender and post-colonial studies, critical theory, migration, and diaspora.
