Description
Summary:Attention to migration and the activities of migrants have added vigour to studies of a range of cultural phenomena from literature and film to architecture and food. Music is particularly interesting as it is one of the widest spread and most easily created forms of cultural production. Ethnomusicology has long been attentive to processes and results of migration but it is only relatively recently that this has had an impact on studies of migration more broadly. As an introduction to the special issue, this article reviews literature, sets out a typology for considering the relationship between music and migration, and contextualises the papers in this collection.
