Summary note
In the most comprehensive collection of information ever published on the performing arts of Oceania, more than 160 scholars in 30 countries and on every continent describe the music of the indigenous peoples of Australia, New Guinea, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Of special interest is the emphasis on music's relationship to poetry (with vocal texts in over 50 Pacific languages) and dance. In addition, readers will find here articles on such contemporary topics as tourism, immigration, gender, cultural identity, and political protest.
