Críticas:

...the collection is necessary for academic consideration of the Celtic genre and is consequently thought-provoking-strikingly so on the issues of commercialism and the integration of "innovation" into "tradition." * Music Research Forum * The book certainly raises questions, and avoids the pat answers to questions of identity and location provided by the growing number of popularisations of the field currently available... * Popular Music * Celtic Modern creates a sense of dialogue across disciplines, ethnicities, and generations....the book has value for ethnomusicologists, folklorists, and participants involved with many musics. -- vol. 61 * Notes: Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association, DECEMBER 2004 * Sophisticated and valuable essays...The collection is significant for its substantive content and because of the special role that the phenomenon of Celtic music has played in the rethinking of fundamental ideas about the place of music in contemporary culture. Summing Up: Recommended. * CHOICE *

Reseña del editor:

The study of 'Celtic' culture has been locked within modern nationalist paradigms, shaped by contemporary media, tourism, and labor migration. Celtic Modern collects critical essays on the global circulation of Celtic music, and the place of music in the construction of Celtic 'Imaginaries'. It provides detailed case studies of the global dimensions of Celtic music in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Brittany, and amongst Diasporas in Canada, the United States and Australia, with specific reference to pipe bands, traditional music education in Edinburgh, the politics of popular/traditional crossover in Ireland, and the Australian bush band phenomenon. Contributors include performer musicians as well as academic writers. Critique necessitates reflexivity, and all of the contributors, active and in many cases professional musicians as well as writers, reflect in their essays on their own contributions to these kind of encounters. Thus, this resource offers an opportunity to reflect critically on some of the insistent 'othering' that has accompanied much cultural production in and on the Celtic World, and that have prohibited serious critical engagement with what are sometimes described as the 'traditional' and 'folk' music of Europe.
