Including work by leading scholars and local authorities, this collection presents fresh perspectives and new research addressing why musical expression is fundamental to the area's diverse, transnational communities. The volume also examines music circulation as a commodity, such as with the production of early recordings, the transnational music industry, the context of the Arab Spring, and the region's popular music markets. As a bonus, readers can access a linked website containing audiovisual examples of the music, dance, and expressive culture introduced throughout the book. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the work of resident scholars and heritage practitioners in conversation with that of researchers from the United States and Europe,\u003ci\u003e Music in Arabia\u003c\/i\u003e offers both context and content to clarify how music articulates identity and nation among multiethnic, multiracial, and multinational populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eNote on Transliteration\u003cbr\u003eNote on Accompanying Website\u003cbr\u003e1.
