Reviews for Ethnomusicology: A Very Short Introduction
"Rice's short book delivers a well-structured and comparatively accessible look both into the development of ethnomusicology and into important areas of research, introduces influential studies and researchers, and can well be recommended as a concise alternative to Bruno Nettl's more comprehensive The Study of Ethnomusicology."
