- Summary:
- The Empire of the Ear shows how auditory culture, music, and musicology played a key role in negotiating the cultural struggles of colonialism in Morocco (1912-56) by helping to redraw society's ethnic and racial boundaries. Author Samuel Llano tells the story of France and Spain's use of music as a proxy for domination, the Moroccan and Maghrebi musicians and scholars who challenged deep-seated European views through scholarship, and collaborations between Maghrebi and European scholars and musicians that obscured the lines between oppression and contestation, demonstrating that race was the primary principle governing the performance and study of Morocco's music repertoires and the shaping of identification among rural and urban populations.
