Professor Jonathan Shannon's Latest Book, 'Performing al-Andalus,' Released

Professor Jonathan Shannon, of the Anthropology Department, has released his latest book, "Performing al-Andalus: Music and Nostalgia Around the Mediterranean." The book was released in July by Indiana University Press. Professor Shannon's study is "a major intervention into the emergent field of Andalusian music studies," according to Carl Davila, of the SUNY College at Brockport: "it is amongst the first full-blown anthropological studies of these traditions, and the first to attempt a cross-cultural comparative perspective. . . . a thought-provoking and  illuminating study of the role played by the image and memory of al-Andalus in the modern Mediterranean world."
