Review
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good HandbookBy AustinTheory in the field of ethnomusicology is difficult to discern. Ruth Stones text is the only one now that brings the frameworks into one text; hence it is like a handbook especially for students of ethnomusicology who do not have the time to read the original mostly antique highly intellectual and abstract books that shaped the theories.
