It is the first endeavor to address the diverse range of sounds, texts, archives, traditions, histories, geographic and political contexts, and critical discourses in the field. The thirty-one experts from thirteen countries who prepared the thirty original and groundbreaking chapters in this handbook are leaders in the disciplines of musicology and Jewish studies as well as adjacent fields. Chapters in the handbook provide a broad coverage of the subject area with considerable expansion of the topics that are normally covered in a resource of this type. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesigned around eight distinct sections -- Land, City, Ghetto, Stage, Sacred and Ritual Spaces, Destruction \/ Remembrance, and Spirit -- the range and scope of \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Jewish Music Studies\u003c\/em\u003e most significantly suggests a new framework for the study of Jewish music centered on spatiality and taking into consideration temporality and collectivity. Within each chapter, authors have selected what they consider to be the most important material relevant to their topic and, drawing on the most authoritative insights from historical and ethnomusicology, Jewish studies, history, anthropology, philology, religious studies, and the visual arts, have taken a genuinely inter- or transdisciplinary approach. Integrated chapter bibliographies provide material for further reading. Together the chapters form a first truly global look at Jewish music, incorporating studies from Central and East Asia, Europe, Australia, the Americas, and the Arab world. Together they span world history, from antiquity until the present day. As such, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e provides a resource that researchers, scholars, and educators will use as the most important and authoritative overview of work within music and Jewish studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTina Frühauf \u003c\/strong\u003eteaches at Columbia University and serves on the doctoral faculty of The Graduate Center, CUNY.
