Music and Gender
Although scholars have long been aware of the crucial roles that gender plays in music, and vice versa, the contributors to this volume are among the first to systematically examine the interactions between the two. This book is also the first to explore the diverse, yet often strikingly similar, musics of the areas bordering the Mediterranean from comparative anthropological perspectives. From Spanish flamenco to Algerian rai, Greek rebetika to Turkish pop music, Sephardi and Berber songs to Egyptian belly dancers, the contributors cover an exceedingly wide range of geographic and musical territories. Individual essays examine musical behavior as representation, assertion and sometimes transgression of gender identities; compare men's and women's roles in specific musical practices and their historical evolution; and explore how music and gender relate to such issues as ethnicity, nationality and religion. Anyone studying the musics or culture of the Mediterranean, or more generally

Tullias Värld
Ciceros dotter Tullia är den sköra tråden i min berättelse. Om henne visste jag ingenting i skolan och inte på universitetet. Om man ville ha reda på något om de kvinnor som levde under de stora männens tid så måste man läsa om de stora männen. Det fanns inget annat sätt. Egentligen har vi nästan ingen kunskap om kvinnornas tankar och känslor förrän de själva börjar berätta om dem. Det skulle dröja mycket länge. Vem Tullia innerst var får vi aldrig veta.Utifrån sitt intresse för antiken skriver Kerstin Ekman fram en ung kvinnas liv och värld, i en rik och ömsint bok med skönlitterära och personliga inslag.
