This is an edited volume of music histories—of peoples, places, and institutions—that refuses to shy away from the geopolitical realities of a global musicology. With an ironic undertone to the “elsewhere” in the book’s title, the volume’s contributors grapple with the ethical and democratizing potentials of musicology’s recent “global turn.” The book’s primary objective is to center perspectives from outside the Euro-American mainstream to create a material difference to the frequent scarcity of non-Western scholarship in the Euro-American conception and practice of music studies. By bringing together a small group of scholars’ work in a more readily available space given by a sizable Anglo-American publisher, the book aims to enable more multidirectional exchanges and connections to take place in the future.
