by Craig Harris
This book covers the spectrum of current Native American music, with a focus on traditional and popular music. It also concentrates on musicians who are incorporating their culture in their music. It consists mainly of profiles of Native musicians, with some context given along the way. Thus, it is more of a survey than an in depth exploration. However, that is also the book's real strength - it introduces the reader to the breadth of Native American music and the artists making it. It also gives a good overview of the different ways these musicians incorporate and relate to their Native culture.
