Reviews

"""Sing Me Back Home demonstrates the strength and efficiency of ethnographic songwriting as a research tool. On a solid self-reflexive framework, Kristina Jacobsen develops a close dialogue with a group of Sardinian people, singing in English and in the Sardinian language, offering a rich and original interpretation of the island's contemporary linguistic dynamics and music culture.""--Ignazio Macchiarella, University of Cagliari ""Based on thirteen months of fieldwork, Kristina Jacobsen takes us on a lush journey through the musical and linguistic traditions in Sardinia, Italy. She accomplishes this through the impressive, layered array of immersive and creative ethnographic methods she conducted while dwelling in the daily life of rural and urban Sardinia. Through this rich and detailed account, Jacobsen offers us an ethically meaningful model for how researchers might conduct fieldwork through the collaborative co-creation of artistic works with the communities we partner with. A fascinating and essential read for creative ethnographers and the fields of anthropology and ethnomusicology.""--Kael Reid, York University ""In Sing Me Back Home, Kristina Jacobsen delivers a brilliant ethnography that connects language study to musical co-creation and performance. Through her sensuous descriptions of Sardinian social life, Jacobsen offers us a new way to explore the hidden dimensions of language, song, and culture, demonstrating how collaborative song co-creation leads to a deep comprehension of the human condition. This soulful work is destined to become an anthropological classic.""--Paul Stoller, West Chester University"
