Description: "The 'East' of Europe is the paradoxical Other - different, and yet never different enough, persistently pushing against the projections with which it is constructed.  In the creation of the Self and Other, music is also involved, this apparently taking on a role in identity formation.  While the book's emphasis is on music examples from central and southeast Europe, the contributions in this volume are not limited to just that: the scope ranges from Martin Luther to Dubioza kolektiv, including a global perspective, such as a Japanese view on German music."--Back cover.
