It illuminates how song \u003ci\u003eperforms\u003c\/i\u003e island life. Gathered here are 15 case study chapters on islands in the Caribbean, North Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic, and the South Pacific, all framed by four eclectic, conceptual essay contributions. In \u003ci\u003eIsland Songs\u003c\/i\u003e, islands are presented as distinct vantage points for observing the merger of the local and the global, as poignantly expressed through song. This book brings together the perspectives and experiences of sociologists, anthropologists, geographers, cultural studies specialists, folklorists, ethnomusicologists, singers, and musicians. \u003ci\u003eIsland Songs\u003c\/i\u003e will interest not only ethnomusicologists but any and all scholars interested in the effects of globalization on traditional cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47599199551639,"sku":"9780810881778","price":12093.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780810881778.webp?v=1775003502","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/island-songs-a-global-repertoire-9780810881778","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
