Reviews

This wide-ranging and significant collection welcomes within its pages a diversity of material that both opens up new interdisciplinary perspectives and, at moments, skirts on the edges of coherence. Mark Porter, Music & Letters The contributors approach their topics from their subjects' lived experienceunderstanding gathered both from fieldwork and from study of the literatureexamining all under the overarching theme of transcendence. Students of comparative religion, ethnomusicology, and postcolonial studies will find much to ponder in this collection. M. J. Duffy IV, Choice
