| Summary: | "Forced Migration has led to the creation of unique contexts where music is made, shared, and experienced. Charting over eight years of research, this book uncovers the musical lives of those seeking asylum and refuge in 'host' countries. An expanded understanding of the relationship between music, refuge, and forced migration is offered that moves away from tropes that rely on narratives of victimhood. Rather, the book foregrounds a claiming of space among networks of diverse communities in which, both adults and children alike, shape, and are shaped by, socio-musical encounters. The focus throughout the exploration is on musical participation, the formation of music communities, music as a way to belong and project alternative identities, musical learning and imagining, as well as how music can be a source of social and political action. Thus, the book is about music as refuge and ultimately hope"-- Provided by publisher. |
