Music, Health, and the Body: Cross-Cultural Perspectives focuses on the role of music in understanding new dimensions of health and healing through a unique relationship between identity, social interactions and the human body under the overarching paradigm of culture. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of social and individual factors in perception of music experiences and their ability to handle pandemic situations. Based on inter-disciplinary themes, and contributions from highly qualified international cohort of scholars, the volume will command attention amongst historians, ethnologists, musicologists, sociologists, anthropologists, psychotherapists and other scholars in arts and humanities.
Poonam Bala is professor extraordinarius of history at University of South Africa and visiting scholar at Cleveland State University.
