Musik und Flucht

The volume “Musik und Flucht” (Music and Forced Migration) sheds light on music in the context of forced migration to Berlin and thus contributes to the understanding of complex cultural processes. To this end, Sean Prieske accompanied refugees over several years, from their first arrival in emergency accommodations to their own apartments. Building on methods from ethnomusicology and music sociology, he shows how their arriving in Germany is reflected in the music they make and listen to and how music simultaneously affects their everyday lives. Research on music and forced migration has become established in recent years and will produce further publications in the future, including this book.
