Summary
  • In recent years, we have seen a renewed interest in the study of music and migration in the Nordic countries, following from the extensive migration waves in recent decades and the increasingly charged political discourse on refugees and integration. Many of these studies focus on the role of music as a collective emblem, a social catalyst and a unifying force for people in vulnerable situations. Studies of music and migration in the Nordic countries go further back in time. During the 1980s, migration research was expanded to include studies of expressive culture, cultural encounters and cultural diversity. During the 1990s and onwards, a number of works on music making and dancing among migrants were published that significantly strengthened and renewed the field of ethnomusicology in the Nordic countries. In April 2019, Nordic ethnomusicologists gathered in Stockholm to discuss how experiences and knowledge from previous studies could enrich today's research. This book is the result of this meeting.
  • Nordic ethnomusicological research on the significance and meaning of music for migrants, minorities and ethnic groups began in the 1980's. In response to the increased migration to Europe in the last years, not least to the Nordic region, the field has gained renewed interest. In 2019 Nordic ethnomusicologists met to discuss how their earlier results could inspire and enrich today's research. In the studies here presented, music is analyzed both on its own terms and as a window to cultural and social issues in society at large: ethnicity and diversity, the importance of institutions, space and place, music as representation and social catalyst. Throughout, the main question concerns the role of music for migrants in the (re)construction of a coherent lifeworld in the new country.
