View accompanying audiovisual materials for the book at Ethnomusicology Multimedia

This sensitive study is a historical, cultural, and musical exploration of Christian religious music among the Logooli of Western Kenya. It describes how new musical styles developed through contact with popular radio and other media from abroad and became markers of the Logooli identity and culture. Jean Ngoya Kidula narrates this history of a community through music and religious expression in local, national, and global settings. The book is generously enhanced by audiovisual material on the Ethnomusicology Multimedia website.

MUSIC IN KENYAN CHRISTIANITY

Ethnomusicology
Multimedia
Ethnomusicology Multimedia (EM) is a collaborative publishing program, developed with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to identify and publish first books in ethnomusicology, accompanied by supplemental audiovisual materials online at www.ethnomultimedia.org
A collaboration of the presses at Indiana, Kent State, and Temple universities, EM is an innovative, entrepreneurial, and cooperative effort to expand publishing opportunities for emerging scholars in ethnomusicology and to increase audience reach by using common resources available to the three presses through support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Each press acquires and develops EM books according to its own profile and editorial criteria.
EM s most innovative features are its dual web-based components, the first of which is a password-protected Annotation Management System (AMS) where authors can upload peer-reviewed audio, video, and static image content for editing and annotation and key the selections to corresponding references in their texts. Second is a public site for viewing the web content, www.ethnomultimedia.org , with links to publishers websites for information about the accompanying books. The AMS and website were designed and built by the Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities at Indiana University. The Indiana University Digital Library Program (DLP) hosts the website and the Indiana University Archives of Traditional Music (ATM) provides archiving and preservation services for the EM online content.

PREFACE
Each of the audio, video, or still image media examples listed below is associated with specific passages in this book, and each example has been assigned a unique persistent uniform resource identifier, or PURL. The PURL points to the location of a specific audio, video, or still image media example on the Ethnomusicology Multimedia website, www.ethnomultimedia.org . Within the running text of the book, a PURL number in parentheses functions like a citation and immediately follows the text to which it refers, for example, (PURL 3.1). The numbers following the word PURL relate to the chapter in which the media example is found and the number of PURLs contained in that chapter. For example, PURL 3.1 refers to the first media example found in chapter 3 , PURL 3.2 refers to the second media example found in chapter 3 , and so on.
There are two ways to access and play back a specific audio, video, or still image media example. When readers enter into a web browser the full address of the PURL associated with a specific media example, they will be taken to a web page containing that media example as well as a playlist of all of the media examples related to this book. Information about the book and the author is also available through this web page. Once readers have navigated to the Ethnomusicology Multimedia website they may also access media examples by entering into the Media Segment ID search field the unique six-digit PURL identifier located at the end of the full PURL address. Readers will be required to electronically sign an end-user license agreement the first time they attempt to access a media example on the Ethnomusicology Multimedia project website.
