Reviews

"Paola Crespi and Sunil Manghani's edited volume brings an important contribution to a long tradition of research around human rhythms and their political dimensions. This vibrant collection of interdisciplinary essays constitutes a unique attempt in the English-speaking field to articulate theoretical and empirical research focusing on the study of rhythms. Doing so, this book demonstrates forcefully the relevance of the analysis of rhythmic phenomena to critically reinterpret current cultural dynamics.-- ""Michel Alhadeff-Jones, Teachers College, Columbia University"""
