Indian Music and the West examines perceptions and
representations of Indian music in the West over a period of two hundred
years, ranging from orientalist studies of Indian history and culture
in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the adoption of elements
from Indian music in Western popular culture in the latter half of the
twentieth century. Gerry Farrell charts the place of Indian music within
the context of colonialism, the use of Indian imagery in Western
popular songs and on the stage, and the early days of the gramophone in
India. Farrell also demonstrates how Indian music has been discovered
and re-discovered in the West, and how these discoveries have reflected
changing cultural, social, and political relations between India and the
West. This is the story of the interface between two sophisticated and
complex musical systems.
