| Summary |
"A multi-sited transnational study of a highly politicized form of folk music from the Balkans. About the author: Ian MacMillen directs the Oberlin Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies. His primary research focuses on the racialized and affective nature of interethnic and transnational connections forged through music - particularly popular and traditional tambura chordophone bands in multiethnic communities of post-conflict Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia. This work has been funded by an ACLS Dissertation Research Fellowship in East European Studies, a Research Grant from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections, and Oberlin College Powers Travel Grants. He received a BA in music from Pomona College, and a Ph. D. in Anthropology of Music from the University of Pennsylvania. He teaches Ethnomusicology and Anthropology courses at Oberlin College"-- Provided by publisher |
