Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. David Park McAllester (1916 2006), an ethnomusicologist, was Professor of Anthropology and Music at Wesleyan University, where he taught from 1947-1986. He made seminal contributions to the development of the field of ethnomusicology, and helped establish the ethnomusicology department and the World Music Program at Wesleyan. His recordings of Navajo and Comanche music led to the establishment of the World Music Archives at the University. He graduated from Harvard College in 1938 and entered the Juilliard School. However, he was doing anthropological field work during the summers at the same time and in 1940 decided not to pursue a career in music, instead enrolling in a Ph.D. program in anthropology at Columbia University. While in New York, he joined the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and remained a member for his entire life. With the SecondWorld War looming, he applied for and received a deferment as a conscientious objector, and served his alternative service with the Civilian Public Service. After the war, he returned to Columbia.
