| Abstract | "Often described as "ecstasy" or "rapture" brought on by listening to and producing music, tarab is a central concept within Arab music traditions. With A.J. Racy's Making Music in the Arab World: The Culture and Artistry of Tarab (Cambridge, 2004) came the first book-length examination of the phenomenon in English-language scholarship. Tarab: Music, Ecstasy, Emotion, and Performance in the Middle East is a follow-up to Racy's pivotal work, combining an assortment of geographic and disciplinary focuses to expand beyond the Arab world and into the present day. The volume asserts that the transnational character of tarab and its spread is critical to understanding the concept's historical, geographic, and sociological impact"-- Provided by publisher. |
