Book Synopsis Ethnomusicology: A Very Short Introduction by : Timothy Rice
Book excerpt: Ethnomusicology, an academic discipline founded in 1950, has been defined as the study of the music of others. This definition, at once whimsical and very nearly true, is incomplete. Many of its strongest threads have emerged because a person or a people have wanted to understand themselves, their history, and their identity.
