Rezensionen

"This brilliant collection of essays gives voice to the Mediterranean and the histories of encounter that converge across its past, present, and future. The voices gathered here sound the lives of individuals no less than the complex narratives of religion and nation, of the struggle to sound the historical longue durée in the lived-in worlds of today's Mediterranean."

-Philip V. Bohlman, Ludwig Rosenberger Distinguished Service Professor in Jewish History, University of Chicago, and author of Focus: Music, Nationalism, and the Making of the New Europe (Routledge)

"This far-ranging and timely collection of essays explores the musical cultures of the Mediterranean as a "sea of voices" resounding with the many contradictions of this contested geopolitical and cultural space. Richly illustrated with analyses of historical and contemporary case studies, this volume invites the reader to think not so much in as with the Mediterranean as a space for reconceptualizing not only Mediterranean musical encounters, but the study of music itself."

-Jonathan H. Shannon, Associate Dean for Academic Operations and External Relations and Visiting Professor of Anthropology, New York University Abu Dhabi
