The articles in this book illustrate the important connections between art, identity, and social formations that disciplines like anthropology and ethnomusicology have long taken for granted. These case studies emphasize the importance of artistic practices and forms within diaspora formations in particular and within social and political movements more generally. The contributors, coming from different disciplinary backgrounds, shed a unique light on the specific potentials of the different arts to create and represent diasporic subjectivities upon which the very existence of diasporas depend. -- Amazon.com.
