And once again, readers are also reminded of the transcultural musical flows and fluid genres that defy national ideals exemplified in Chapter Sixteen of Ellorin’s study of the nomadic sea-faring ethnic minority Sama-Bajau’s Sangbai performance. The Coda and the Afterword: Bercerita (Sharing Stories) demonstrate Nusantara’s popular music engagements with global and transnational trends. The reflections and the conversations with various local artists from Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines draw readers to further explore the ambiguous meaning of the term “Nusantara” and its implications on musical practices in the region. Made in Nusantara: Studies in Popular Music is an essential contribution to the field of popular music studies in the region and globally. Conceptually, the volume provides a fresh take on Nusantara supported by examples in the respective essays, and establishes a new praxis in the study of popular music in maritime Southeast Asia. With resources such as a spread of pictures featuring artists and album sleeves, a collection of selected bibliography, and an extensive index, both scholars and students in popular music and across the interdisciplinary studies of social sciences will not only find this volume insightful but also enjoyable to read. Made in Nusantara: Studies in Popular Music is definitely one of the few edited volumes dedicated to the study of popular music in maritime Southeast Asia and for that reason, I hope that it will inspire many more similar works that explore other different issues in popular music in the intricately connected and the often-contested shared cultural space of the region.","PeriodicalId":43357,"journal":{"name":"YEARBOOK FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC","volume":"54 1","pages":"169 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46200762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an ambitious work, covering around seventy-five years of history and music in the Marshall Islands, a volatile period of nuclear activity and experience, the resonance of which is far from over. The author Schwartz frames the work within “a politics of silence and sound,” drawing asmuch attention to the “conspicuous manipulation of silence” as it does to the sounds of Marshallese musical culture (5). The book is organised into five chapters, and an introduction, of equal length. The Introduction is densely theoretical: a sophisticated consideration ofmusic and gender, power, race, and decolonisation in the context of the Marshall Islands. Chapter One provides a detailed discussion of the politics of radiation and the complex relationship between the United States of America and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI); there are strong assertions here on the gendered nature of nuclear violence and onwomen’s disempowerment in the process. Chapter Two presents the experience of the people of Rongelap Atoll as “human radiation experiments” (98) and focuses particularly on the effect of radiation (and treatment) on Rongelapese women’s voices and how this affects, amongst other things, Rongelapese musicality. Chapter Three focuses largely on the experiences of the people of Bikini Atoll and the staged nature of their removal. Here the physicality and gendered characteristics of performance/performing are explored: women’s voices, due to the effects of radiation but also the need to assert authority within the constructedmasculine narrative, are “trapped in a gendered register” (142). The role of anthems in relation to identity also features here. Chapter Four explores the role of Christianity and the Church in the lives of the people, and in particular Bikinian men’s voices and broader performance practices as “part of their larger decolonial struggles” (174). Crucially, here the author acknowledges the complexity of identify formation and Bikinian’s “interwoven inheritance: the spirit of sharing alongside Rongelapese, Marshallese, Ijjidik, Oceanic, Christian, American, and so forth” (210).

Before I started inmy role as theGeneral Editor in 2018, discussions about becoming a two-volume journal were already ongoing. I had the opportunity to produce the 2018 volume through our in-house publication, printing, and packaging process before the journal moved to being published by the Cambridge University Press (CUP). Under the leadership of Salwa El-Shawan Castello-Branco as the ICTM President, the planning of a two-volume journal became part of this move to CUP. A two-volume Yearbook enables the possibility of publishing more research by our students and colleagues, and the sharing of more reviews of current multimedia works, audio recordings, videos and films, and books. It also gives our team of editors more creative space in shaping the respective sections of the journal across the calendar year, allowing more flexibility for authors to produce and revise their writings in a closer and more extended form of collaboration with our editors. As issue 1 (July 2022) of volume 54 is being finalised, much of the planning for issue 2 (December 2022) has already taken place. Such overlapping and layering in the planning of the Yearbook through the year, and across the next year, will gradually strengthen the quality, integrity, and the synergy of the journal’s submission, peer review, editorial, and production processes. One of my goals in editing the Yearbook has been to broaden opportunities for junior and developing scholars across the globe, and for colleagues whose scholarship are not as easily accessible in European-American-based periodicals to share their outstanding research as widely as possible. Volume 54 issue 1 is a case in point. ICTM’s move to a two-volume journal was enthusiastically supported by the current editorial team, all of whomhave been steadfast in their commitment to constantly enhance the journal’s standards through their editorship.
