Summary

Over the past twenty years, a range of radical developments has revolutionized musicology, leading certain practitioners to describe their discipline as "new." What has happened to ethnomusicology during this period? Have its theories, methodologies, and values remained rooted in the 1970s and 1980s, or have they also transformed? What directions might or should it take in the new millennium?
