The music lover who is listening to Indian music for the first time is apt to be perplexed by his novel experience. He may protest that "It all sounds alike," that "They only have one tune," and in all seriousness finally ask, "But is it music?" Such honest reactions are not uncommon among the uninitiated. They are normal human responses to the unfamiliar and are not peculiarly related to Indian music. Similar questions have been raised about the art work of our best contemporary composers, artists, writers, and architects by those who are unable to view the new art in its social setting and...

Like its predecessor, this volume is an attempt to treat in a concise and objective manner the dominant social, political, economic, and military aspects of contemporary Chadian society. Sources of information included scholarly journal and monographs, official reports of governments and international organization, foreign and domestic newspapers, and numerous periodicals. The authors have emphasized the use of foreign-language sources to a greater extent than in the past. Nevertheless, as a result of the warfare during the 1980's, up-to-date information on social and economic issues was...

In 1939, Juan Liscano, journalist and poet, provided himself with portable sound-recording equipment and began to record the folklore of Venezuela. He traveled, entirely upon his own initiative and resources, sometimes with considerable hardship, over most of the northern half of the country, including the states of Lara, Falcon, Miranda, Anzoategui, Nueva Esparta, and Zulia, examples of whose music and speech are contained in this album. The fame of Mr. Liscano's collection (to the best of our knowledge the largest made in his country) had preceded him. So that when at last, after several...

During service heavy cannonading was to be heard in the direction of Faifax. About noon an orderly came with orders for...
