"[This book] is a contribution of considerable substance because it takes a holistic view of the field of folk music and the scholarship that has dealt with it." --Bruno Nettl" . . . a praiseworthy combination of solid scholarship, penetrating discussion, and global relevance." --Asian Folklore Studies" . . . successfully ties the history and development of folk music scholarship with contemporary concepts, issues, and shifts, and which treats varied folk musics of the world cultures within the rubric of folklore and ethnomusicology with subtle generalizations making sense to serious minds . . . " --Folklore Forum" . . . [this book] challenges many carefully-nurtured sacred cows.
