Violins: Local Meanings, Globalized Sounds examines the violin as an object of meaning in a variety of cultural and historical contexts, and as a vehicle for introducing anthropological issues. Each chapter highlights concepts as taught in lower-level anthropology courses, and includes teaching and learning tools. Chapters range from a memoir-like social biography of a single instrument to explorations of violins in relation to technology, labor, the environment, migration, globalization, childhood, cultural understandings of talent and virtuosity, and prestige.

Pamela A. Moro is Professor of Anthropology at Willamette University. Her previous work includes Magic, Witchcraft, and Religion: A Reader in the Anthropology of Religion (NinthEdition, McGraw-Hill, 2013).
