Music on the Move
by Danielle Fosler-Lussier

…looks like a solidly researched work, which concludes:

“The mixing of musics disrupts the tidy categories of “nation” and “culture,” and it may seem like a further element of disorganization. Yet, as a musicians’ strategy, musical mixing may promote not disorganization but reorganization: migrants and mediated persons finding ways to relate to one another and convey their experiences. In Canclini’s view these strategic mixes “help us make the world more translatable, which is to say more cohabitable in the midst of differences.””
