Opis

The first English-language book-length treatment of the music of an ethnic minority in Vietnam, Musical Minorities examines how musical sounds shape understandings of social identity, providing a fascinating account of music, minorities, and the state in a post-socialist context.

Recenzje

Musical Minorities remains a highly commendable ethnomusicological study with important ramifications for ethnic relations, tourism economies and the politics of representation in Vietnam and beyond. More than that, this book provides a model for those wishing to conduct interdisciplinary research on the performing arts of marginalised groups.
