Music Downtown Eastside
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-753507-3 (ISBN)
Music Downtown Eastside draws on two decades of research in one of North America's poorest urban areas to illustrate how human rights can be promoted through music. Harrison's examination of how gentrification, grant funding, and community organizations affect the success or failure of human rights-focused musical initiatives offers insights into the complex relationship between culture, poverty, and human rights that have global implications and applicability.
The book takes the reader into popular music jams and music therapy sessions offered to the poor in churches, community centers and health organizations. Harrison analyzes the capabilities music-making develops, and musical moments where human rights are respected, promoted, threatened, or violated. The book offers insights on the relationship between music and poverty, a social deprivation that diminishes capabilities and rights. It contributes to the human rights literature by examining critically how human rights can be strengthened in cultural practices and policy.
Klisala Harrison is Academy of Finland Research Scholar in ethnomusicology at the University of Helsinki. She has extensive research experience on music in relation to human rights, poverty and capability development; music, health and well-being; and musics of Indigenous peoples across the Arctic and of asylum seekers in Europe.
