'The essays in The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration are remarkable for the ways in which they take account of the historical longue durée of unraveling the simple truths about the differences that arise when human beings, individually and collectively, move from one place of residence to another place, which may or may not offer residence. In the entries and chapters that fill this volume, we encounter truth under many names, more rather than fewer, as the culture of common differences previously made some of us believe… The paths along which simple truths unravel in this volume owe much to the ways in which the contributors have taken the power of music to expose the multiple layers of meaning in the human experience of migration, past, present, and future. Musical meaning in this sense is different from simple truth because it insists there is more to the reality of migration than accommodation. The contributors to The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration muster the eloquence of evidence from the confluence of concerted theory and method to open new possibilities for listening to the voices of the migrants in a modern world troubled and unsettled. To read the essays in this volume is to hear those voices anew, and to recognize the necessity of joining the contributors in a call to action in which truths are powerful only upon becoming uncommon.'
