Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.Sounding the Indian Oceanis the first volume to integrate the fields of ethnomusicology and Indian Ocean studies. Drawing on historical and ethnographic approaches,the book explores what music reveals about mobility, diaspora, colonialism, religiousnetworks, media, and performance.Collectively, the chapters examine different ways the Indian Ocean might be ';heard' outside of a reliance on colonial archives and elite textual traditions, integrating methods from music and sound studies into the history and anthropology of the region. Challenging the area studies paradigmwhich has long cast Africa, the Middle East, and Asia as separate musical culturesthe book shows how music both forms and crosses boundaries in the Indian Ocean world.
