Migrants bring music from the homeland to the metropolis. But music also migrates via the media: 'world' music, hip hop, bossa nova ... . With case studies from across the world this ground-breaking collection shows how migrating music is key to the construction of a still-emerging, global cosmopolitan imagination.
'A welcome addition to the literature on music, mediation and diaspora...'
'Many of the contributions to this volume have a strong sense of immediacy and engagement with their material, and with the wider political context. Toynbee and Dueck are not shy of contributing to current political debates, and they highlight European anxieties over immigration, exacerbated by economic hardship and fears that migrants are transforming the wider national culture.'-Rachel Harris, Univeristy of London, in Ethnomusicology Forum, vol 21 no 1 p.117-119
