Excursions in World Music is a comprehensive introductory textbook to the musics of the world, creating a panoramic experience for students by engaging the many cultures around the globe, and highlighting the sheer diversity to be experienced in the world of music. At the same time, the text illustrates the often profound ways through which a deeper exploration of these many different communities can reveal overlaps, shared horizons, and common concerns in spite of, and because of, this very diversity. The new eighth edition features six brand new chapters, including chapters on Japan, Sub-Saharan Africa, China and Taiwan, Europe, Maritime Southeast Asia, and Indigenous Peoples. General updates have been made to other chapters, replacing visuals and updating charts/statistics.Another major addition to the eighth edition is the publication of a companion reader of nine short essays, Critical Themes in World Music. The essays introduce key and contemporary themes in ethnomusicology—gender and sexuality, coloniality and race, technology and media, sound and space, and more—creating a counterpoint to the area studies approach of the textbook, a longstanding model for thinking about the musics of the world. Instructors can use this flexible resource as a primary or secondary path through the materials, on its own, or in concert with the textbook, allowing for a more complete understanding that highlights the many continuities and connections that exist between musical communities, regardless of region.This two-book package contains the paperback textbook and paperback reader.
International development efforts have increasingly focussed on governance and institutional reform as a means to address poverty and accountability, in particular decentralisation reform wherein public officials are held accountable for their decisions and responses to the voices and demands of the people through local elections, and key public services are provided locally. This book argues that decentralisation reform in Cambodia has failed to transform the existing power relations necessary to produce democracy, accountability and improved service delivery. Instead, the donor’s supported reform tend to focus on developing institutions, legal frameworks and capacity building, and have been increasingly resisted or co-opted by local elites to maintain their power. Because of this, governance reforms have left government divided between comparatively transparent donor-funded programme and a public sector mainstream system where everyday accountabilities are still dominated by strong, centralised lines within political parties and central ministries, based on principles of personal loyalty, hierarchy and political stability. This book is the first substantive publication on Cambodia’s decentralisation reform with a focus on the new district system of Cambodia’s sub-national governance. The author’s unique position as a Cambodian opens up new information related to patronage, party and informal networks at national and sub-national levels. Illustrated extensively with quotes and examples from local councillors and officials who are at the center of this reform programme, it captures the local nuance and understanding of the complexity and implication of decentralisation programme and takes the reader inside the real meanings of governance and accountability in Cambodia. It will be of interest to researchers in the fields of decentralisation, public sector reform, the politics of development, local governance, Political Economy and Southeast Asian studies.

Prayer is a powerful spiritual weapon. And the Yada Yadas are about to learn just how strong it really is.The women of the Chicago-born Yada Yada Prayer Group have developed a strong sisterly bond. They’ve had a wild year full of joy, sorrow, and a healthy dose of laughter. Lots of laughter.But just when life gets comfortable, things get shaken up. The sisters don’t expect trouble to crop up so soon after the exuberant wedding of Yada Yada member Avis Johnson. But it happens, and sorrow meets their joy head–on.It’s the kind of sorrow that shakes up their whole town, their whole group, their lives. And it’s not just sorrow—it’s fear and hate and a whole lot of tension. A white supremacy hate group targets a local university and viciously attacks Nony’s husband, barely sparing his life.With their loved one balancing between life and death, the mismatched sisters get tough—really tough—and their prayer group becomes much more than just a Bible study. It becomes a lifeline.
The Yada Yada Prayer Group is in trouble—and they’re having a hard time getting out.Jodi Baxter is feeling overwhelmed, to say the least. Every day it seems that more blessings, problems, and everything in between crop up among her Yada Yada sisters, and their prayer list is getting out of control.Not only are the Yada Yadas still recovering from the vicious racial attack on Mark, but Ruth and Ben’s midlife pregnancy takes a dangerous turn, Avis’s daughter and grandbaby show up unannounced, Florida’s artistic son gets caught tagging, and Uptown is talking about merging with New Morning into one racially mixed church—raising anxiety and stress to new levels. To top it all off, Jodi keeps saying yes—to everything. It’s getting harder to see God in the everyday rat race of life, especially in the face of exhaustion.With so many burdens resting on her circle of sisters, Jodi fi nds herself trapped by the good—and bad—habit of trying to fi x everything and everyone. After lots (and lots) of failures, Jodi begins to learn that God can use anything, even the messes we make, to accomplish His good purposes.What will it take to help the Yada Yadas focus on God’s promises instead of getting caught by the lies we so easily believe?
Just when the Yada Yadas want to get comfy, they realize God is on the move. It’s time for the sisters to let go . . . and let God take the lead.These aren’t easy times for the Yada Yadas: a devastating fi re, an HIV diagnosis, loss of loved ones, and possible prison time loom over the sisters’ heads. More than once, they dissolve into tears and worry. But when so much seems to be going wrong, the sisters know where to turn . . . prayer.And as Jodi Baxter’s prayer life continues to be revolutionized by the Yada Yada Prayer Group, she begins to recognize God’s voice. It’s still, it’s small, and she often confuses it with her own feelings. But it’s there.When Jodi works up the courage to open herself to God’s plan, it propels her into a world completely outside her comfort zone: prison ministry.But as the sisters follow God’s lead, something happens—something that knocks their socks off. Reaching out in ways that are startling to others, they surprise even themselves. Because when this eccentric group of friends gets rolling, miracles will happen.
In the thick of the holiday season, God gives the Yada Yadas an unforgettable celebration.It’s that time of year, and the holidays are just around the corner. The Yada Yada Prayer Group is in a tizzy of excitement—kids home from college, turkeys to be roasted, gifts to buy, trees to decorate . . . not to mention getting decked out for a huge New Year’s Eve party to welcome back a few Yada Yada sisters who’ve been away too long.But when Jodi Baxter is thrown into a series of events that include a frenzied wedding, a newborn baby, and some strange encounters with a former student, the holiday season suddenly becomes just a jumble of chaos.As Jodi slows down long enough to look at each unexpected event from God’s point of view, she discovers what it means to be a part of God’s upside-down kingdom, decked out in compassion, kindness, and a huge willingness to let go of control. This will be a holiday that Jodi, her family, and her prayer-group sisters will never forget as they don their most festive outfits and raise the roof in a celebration of prayer and praise.
