Description
Journeys of Love examines the profound connections between Kashmiri identity, music, and the experience of migration. Thomas Hodgson’s ethnomusicological research traces how Kashmiri musicians navigate displacement, cultural preservation, and belonging through their musical practices. The book reveals the poetic dimensions of migration, documenting personal narratives and musical traditions that sustain cultural memory across diasporic communities.
Part of the Chicago Studies in Ethnomusicology series, this work combines rigorous scholarly analysis with intimate portraits of musicians whose lives have been shaped by conflict, exile, and resettlement. Through detailed case studies and musical analysis, Hodgson demonstrates how music serves as both a means of cultural resistance and a bridge between past and present. The book offers valuable insights into South Asian diaspora studies, ethnomusicology, and the human dimensions of forced migration.
