Title: Music and the Play of Power in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia
Abstract: This volume examines the relationship between music and power in the Islamic world. Edited by the British ethnomusicologist Laudan Nooshin, the publication brings together a diverse collection of scholars (from both sides
of the Atlantic) who consider the power of music from a number of different perspectives in a range of distinctive contexts. While the authors, generally speaking, eschew an established discourse in the region that concerns the
affective attributes of musical power, they offer instead a richly textured reading of the subject where musical production discloses a complex network of social relations and musical consumption reveals an intricate array of social
positions.
