Book Synopsis
A timely exploration of music's role in conflict situations across the globe

Trade Review
"Recommended."--Choice "Valuable both for the contextual and geographic breadth of its content and for its commitment to engaging ethnomusicological discourse (theoretical and practical) in applied settings."--MUSICultures "Until now, the intersection of music and conflict has been under-documented and under-theorized in ethnomusicology. Music and Conflict bravely addresses the 'darker side' of musical behavior, documenting how music sometimes works to incite violence and how it may also be used to rebuild communities torn apart by misunderstandings, conflict, and even war."--Nancy Guy, author of Peking Opera and Politics in Taiwan "O'Connell and Castelo-Branco make a compelling argument for the need to shed scholarly and applied light onto these darker areas of musical behavior."--Notes
