Více o knize

Exploring the cultural dynamics of Northern Ireland, this book delves into how traditional music serves as a marker of religious affiliation and ethnic identity amid ongoing community divisions. It examines the emergence of the Ulster Scots tradition post-Good Friday Agreement and analyzes the role of Protestant musicians within the broader Irish cultural landscape. Through ethnographic and ethnomusicological studies of traditional musicians from County Antrim, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between music and identity in this context.
