Focus: Music, Nationalism, and the Making of the New Europe surveys the intersection of music and nationalism by tracing its historical development and documenting its persistence today. Contrasting different types of music reveals how music expresses core ideas of nationalism, for example, folk music in the nineteenth century and popular music in the twenty-first. "There is much here for students of history and political science and still more for music undergraduates. Bohlman's bridging of history and ethnography provides a model that we can only hope to see emulated." - Brian C. Thompson, Fontes artis musicae
