This volume showcases contemporary research about interculturalism and music through exposing critical perspectives about real-world projects spanning different corners of the globe, including China, Germany, Iran, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa regions, North India, Mexico, Taiwan, the UK and the USA. Its aim is twofold: first, to highlight current trends in thinking about interculturalism and music; and second, to illustrate encounters or practices involving music within or about an intercultural context. A broad narrative trajectory reflects perspectives in education, community and creative practice with numerous themes addressed, including culturally-responsive teaching, language learning, transculturalism, post-migrant societies, identity formation, power dynamics, audience encounters as well as notions of 'insider' and 'outsider', 'self' and 'other' and the 'in-between'. This volume serves scholars in a range of fields, especially music education, ethnomusicology, musicology, psychology and cultural studies as well as practitioners working in community and education settings. Students and researchers exploring intercultural practices will find essential case studies and insights applicable to their own work. As a whole, the book is securely bound together by its overall theme of music and interculturalism yet offers diversity of perspective and methodology.
