The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration: Theories and Methodologies is a groundbreaking and transformative core text for the study of music and migration. Conceptualized as a comprehensive methodological and theoretical guide, it forefronts the mobile potentials of music and presents compelling arguments about why musical expressions matter in the discourse of migration politics.

This handbook is the result of a collaborative effort involving 24 international specialists in music and migration, who have set methodological and theoretical standards for transdisciplinary collaborations in the field of migration studies. The authors have discussed 41 key keywords, such as mobility, community, research ethics, human rights, and critical whiteness, within the context of music and migration. These terms are then applied to 16 chapters, which explore a wide range of ethnomusicological, musicological, sociological, anthropological, geographical, pedagogical, political, economic, and media-related methodologies and theories.

The interdisciplinary focus of these chapters advances interrelations between music and migration as enabling factors for socio-cultural studies. Furthermore, the authors address crucial questions of agency, equality, and equity, as well as the responsibilities and expectations of writers and artists when researching migration phenomena as innate human experiences. As a result, this handbook offers scholars and students alike with relevant and applicable methodological and theoretical tools, in addition to an extensive literature and research review for further exploration.

The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration: Theories and Methodologies is a seminal contribution to the field, providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on the complex relationship between music and migration. It will be of great value to researchers, scholars, and students interested in music, migration, and the broader social sciences.
