Harrison blurs the distinction between applied and theoretical research, blends sensitive musical participant observation and rigorous policy analysis, and addresses, with a caring ear for diverse voices, urgent issues of social justice, human rights, gentrification, misogyny, and homelessness that transcend the study's particular ethnographic setting. Vigorously and accessibly written, bravely and humanely researched, this is an important book for ethnomusicologists and policy scholars alike. * Aaron A. Fox, Columbia University * Compassionate social programs often target the poor and supporting their daily survival needs - food, clothing, showers. Often forgotten is that which makes life most worth living: the sense of hope and the promise of human dignity we get from the arts, and of the most readily accessible art form to all of us, singing and music-making. With a scholar's sharp mind and a humanist's compassion, Klisala Harrison takes us inside life on the streets, and reveals the importance and power of music - to all of us. A brilliant exploration of enhancing human rights and capabilities of the poorest of the poor in our society. * Dr. Daniel J. Levitin, neuroscientist, and best-selling author of This Is Your Brain on Music * Author InformationKlisala Harrison, Academy of Finland Research Scholar in ethnomusicology, University of Helsinki Klisala Harrison is Academy of Finland Research Scholar in ethnomusicology at the University of Helsinki.
