Nettl's Elephant
"A brilliant collection by a renowned author who has for decades shaped thinking in the field on which he reflects in these essays ... No other author could write with such authority and personal experience about ethnomusicology." from the foreword by Anthony Seeger, author of Why Suya Sing: A Musical Anthropology of an Amazonian People "Erudite yet accessible, always insightful, beautifully written, and laced with Nettl's signature touches of wit and humour, it represents an important addition to the historiography of our field by the scholar who knows it best." Michael Bakan, author of World Music: Traditions and Transformations
