This anthology is a 'must read' for those who value local and traditional music cultures in an interconnected world. It presents timely and deeply informed perspectives from scholars in ten countries on the debates and impacts of UNESCO's 2003 Convention. Their work raises crucial questions about who benefits, how traditions are both sustained and changed innovatively (though sometimes controversially), whose traditions thrive and whose are left without support when the interests of communities, nation states, and commercial enterprises vie for control. * Beverley Diamond, Memorial University of Newfoundland * A revealing book about music as Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in the words of authors from different parts of the world, writing from a variety of professional perspectives and experiences. Firm understandings of the past and the present give these authors the authority to celebrate, critique, and suggest improvements for the future. * Svanibor Pettan, University of Ljubljana, ICTM President *
