Change and Identity in the Music Cultures of Lombok, Indonesia

David D. Harnish's study follows music in Lombok over an extended period. It brings the island's many distinct musical traditions into one account, looking at how each has taken part in the search for identity.

The book also sets Lombok's history, its religious and ethnic makeup and its current political circumstances alongside the music. Music is treated as one of the ways people define who they are and where they belong.

Readers of ethnomusicology, Southeast Asian studies and cultural history will find this longitudinal study useful.
