Summary

In Memory, Music, and Religion, Earle H. Waugh explores a rich vein of Islam in Morocco-the mystical chanters. In this detailed study of the interplay between memory, music, and religion, Waugh opens new areas of thought, particularly regarding a theme that cuts across religious traditions: the role of memory in religious formation.

Author Biography

Earle H. Waugh is professor emeritus in the Department of Religious Studies and director of the Dimic Research Institute at the University of Alberta.
