In the most comprehensive collection of information ever published on the performing arts of Oceania, more than 160 scholars in 30 countries and on every continent describe the music of theindigenous peoples of Australia, New Guinea, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Of special interest is the emphasis on music's relationship to poetry (with vocal texts in over 50 Pacific languages) and dance. In addition, readers will find here articles on such contemporary topics as tourism, immigration, gender, cultural identity, and political protest.Recognizing music as a vital social and cultural force, this volume focuses on the region of Australia and the Pacific Islands looking at the role of music in the lives, arts and culture of its people. The coverage provides an overview of the region, and reviews its music heritage and scholarship.
