Book Synopsis The Music of Multicultural America by : Kip Lornell
Download or read book The Music of Multicultural America written by Kip Lornell and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Music of Multicultural America explores the intersection of performance, identity, and community in a wide range of musical expressions. Fifteen essays explore traditions that range from the Klezmer revival in New York, to Arab music in Detroit, to West Indian steel bands in Brooklyn, to Kathak music and dance in California, to Irish music in Boston, to powwows in the midwestern plains, to Hispanic and Native musics of the Southwest borderlands. Many chapters demonstrate the processes involved in supporting, promoting, and reviving community music. Others highlight the ways in which such American institutions as city festivals or state and national folklife agencies come into play. Thirteen themes and processes outlined in the introduction unify the collection's fifteen case studies and suggest organizing frameworks for student projects. Due to the diversity of music profiled in the book—Mexican mariachi, African American gospel, Asian West Coast jazz, women's punk, French-American Cajun, and Anglo-American sacred harp—and to the methodology of fieldwork, ethnography, and academic activism described by the authors, the book is perfect for courses in ethnomusicology, world music, anthropology, folklore, and American studies. Audio and visual materials that support each chapter are freely available on the ATMuse website, supported by the Archives of Traditional Music at Indiana University.

Book Synopsis The Grace of Four Moons by : Pravina Shukla
Download or read book The Grace of Four Moons written by Pravina Shukla and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because clothing, food, and shelter are basic human needs, they provide excellent entries to cultural values and individual aesthetics. Everyone gets dressed every day, but body art has not received the attention it deserves as the most common and universal of material expressions of culture. The Grace of Four Moons aims to document the clothing decisions made by ordinary people in their everyday lives. Based on fieldwork conducted primarily in the city of Banaras, India, Pravina Shukla conceptualizes and realizes a total model for the study of body art—understood as all aesthetic modifications and supplementations to the body. Shukla urges the study of the entire process of body art, from the assembly of raw materials and the manufacture of objects, through their sale and the interactions between merchants and consumers, to the consumer's use of objects in creating personal decoration.

Book Synopsis North American Indian Tribes of the Great Lakes by : Michael G Johnson
Download or read book North American Indian Tribes of the Great Lakes written by Michael G Johnson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-20 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details the growth of the European Fur trade in North America and how it drew the Native Americans who lived in the Great Lakes region, notably the Huron, Dakota, Sauk and Fox, Miami and Shawnee tribes into the colonial European Wars. During the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812, these tribes took sides and became important allies of the warring nations. However, slowly the Indians were pushed westward by the encroachment of more settlers. This tension finally culminated in the 1832 Black Hawk's War, which ended with the deportation of many tribes to distant reservations.

Book Synopsis Contemporary North Carolina American Indian Powwow Dress by : Beth Metcalf Bell
Download or read book Contemporary North Carolina American Indian Powwow Dress written by Beth Metcalf Bell and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to explore the form and meanings of North Carolina American Indian powwow dress. To address this purpose, I examined powwow regalia worn by North Carolina American Indians at local powwows. Having lost their tribal culture and identity with early European contact, North Carolina American Indians began to look to Plains Indian practices like the powwow to regain their American Indian identity, and by the 1960s, began holding public powwows. These powwows allow North Carolina American Indians to create tribal identities through dance and dress styles. Historic Plains Indian styles are the primary influences on dress at North Carolina powwows and are used to create familiar images of the American Indian for powwow spectators. While there is evidence of more local tribe-based influences on North Carolina American Indian regalia, little research has examined the impact of this influence, or that of the Plains styles, on North Carolina American Indian powwow regalia. Thus, this study addresses a major gap that exists within the literature. An ethnographic approach to research was used to address the purpose of the study. Specifically, powwow regalia worn for the Northern Men's Traditional Dance, the Grass Dance, and the Fancy Dance were investigated. Four methods of data collection were employed, including observation, visual documentation, field interviews, and in-depth interviews. A total of 11 powwows were observed. Field interviews were conducted with ten Northern Men's Traditional dancers, two Grass dancers, and one Fancy dancer. In-depth interviews were then conducted with eight of the thirteen participants. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed along with observation and visual data for broader issues related to the form and meaning of powwow dress. Data analysis revealed that powwow regalia creates meaning for the participant by establishing and communicating a personal, tribal, and general American Indian identity. Thematic interpretation of the data revealed that distinct elements of the regalia represent these separate identities. Although the influence of historic Plains Indian dress was seen in this study, findings also reveal Eastern Woodlands historic dress influences emerging in North Carolina American Indian powwow dress. Cultural authentication was employed as a theoretical framework to explain how these influences are indicative of the adoption of dress between cultural groups and across time periods. Although this study addresses major gaps in the literature, it also points to the need for further inquiry into ways that different groups use dress to establish and maintain a cultural identity."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
