Description - Musical Healing in Cultural Contexts by Penelope Gouk
The essays in this volume explore how people use music to heal themselves and whether the healing powers of music are universal or culturally specific. The contributors approach the topic from social, cultural and historical backgrounds and include case studies from the Bolivian Andes, Africa and Western Europe, as well as an assessment of the role of Islamic traditions in Western practices. The case studies are intended to introduce to music therapists, ethnomusicologists and anthropologists some new and possibly unfamiliar models of musical healing. The book contributes to an understanding of the transformative and healing roles that music plays in different societies,
