Drawing from a long history of indigenous traditions and incorporating diverse influences of surrounding cultures; music in Palestine and among the millions of Palestinians in diaspora offers a unique window on cultural and political events of the past century. From the perspective of scholars; performers; composers; and activists; Palestinian Music and Song examines the many ways in which music has been a force of representation; nation building; and social action. From the turn of the 20th century; when Palestine became an exotic object of fascination for missionaries and scholars; to 21st-century transnational collaborations in hip hop and new media; this volume traces the conflicting dynamics of history and tradition; innovation and change; power and resistance.
