Austronesian Soundscapes is a collection of essays on Austronesian musics that transcends disciplinary frontiers in the humanities and social sciences. In all of Austronesia, music plays a crucial role in the negotiation of cultural identities; yet research on the diversity of the Austronesian cultural belt's music has hitherto been rather sparse. Responding to this gap, Austronesian Soundscapes offers comprehensive analyses of traditional and contemporary Austronesian musics, investigating how music in the region reflects the 21st century's challenges ; Birgit Abels is a cultural musicologist with a primary specialization in the music of the Pacific and Southeast Asian islands ; "This volume is attempting for the first time to see how the performing arts contribute to understanding the interlinkages of this immense cultural area and thus providing a fresh and welcome view on these understudied, yet extremely diverse musical cultures."--Wim van der Meer, Associate Professor of World Music Studies, Amsterdam University ; "This highly interesting collection describes a wide variety of musical cultures (...) A great virtue (... is the) focus (...) on the ways that the arts depict issues of identity and conflict and seek to resolve them."--Philip Yampolsky, Director of the Robert E. Brown Center for World Music, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Editor of the Music of Indonesia series, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings --Book Jacket
