European colonial domination has played a profound role in shaping the identities and cultures of the colonizers as well as of the colonized. In this seminar, students critically engage with the enduring effects of colonialism on today’s societies and musical cultures. The course reading list focuses on how various music practices are influenced by, revolt against, and perpetuate the power divide between “the West and the rest,” as well as power relations within Western societies.
