'Krüger asks what ethnomusicology is achieving in higher education: whose voices it projects, what values it expresses, what students make of the panoply of world musics and musicians thrust upon them, and how far, finally, teachers of world music succeed in their educationally transformative interventions. Informed by fieldwork at institutions in Britain and Germany, and by Krüger's own experiences as teacher and former student, this is a provocative and necessary study, rich in insights for ethnomusicologist and music educator alike.' Professor Jonathan Stock, University of Sheffield, UK ’A fascinating and thorough discussion ... the book is a good read, as Krüger is an entertaining writer who couples engagement with her subject with a forensic, non-judgemental approach.’ 4 stars, Songlines 'Krügerʼs book takes a fresh look at what is most familiar to ethnomusicologists in ways which, at different times, can be enlightening, challenging or inspiring, and although based on research in Europe, it is of no less relevance to ethnomusicologists in other continents... This is an important book, not only essential reading for ethnomusicologists, but also potentially mind-expanding for all music educators, regardless of disciplinary allegiances, theoretical perspectives or current pedagogical practices.'
