Missionaries, Anthropologists, and Music in the Indonesian A, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

"Examining anew the value of the documentation that missionaries accomplished, their interactions with the people and places they occupied, and their relationships with other kinds of observers, this volume is a much-needed corrective and an absolutely fascinating read that enriches the ethnomusicology of Indonesia and beyond."--Anne K. Rasmussen, author of Women, the Recited Qur'an, and Islamic Music in Indonesia

"This fascinating collection of essays by historians, musicologists, literary scholars, and ethnomusicologists from around the world not only opens up the neglected history of Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and Christian missionization of the Indonesian archipelago, but also contributes to the decolonizing of its historiography. The book's wealth of data reveals new historical connections and insights that will confound conventional understandings of the region."--Margaret Kartomi, author of Musical Journeys in Sumatra
