Bücher der Reihe The Lexington Series in Historical Ethnomusicology: Deep Soundings

Music has long played a prominent role in cultural diplomacy, but until now no resource has comparatively examined policies that shape how non-western countries use music in international relations. Inspired by decolonization, this book describes policies and legal frameworks that impact music's role in cultural diplomacy worldwide.

This book uses glocalization theory and the methods of historical ethnomusicology to interpret the life and times of a notable European composer, Franz Xaver Scharwenka (1850-1924) in his sociocultural context.
