| Summary: | The Oxford Handbook of Musical Repatriation is an edited volume comprising 38 chapters from contributors working in regions all over the world. This collection highlights studies exploring sonic repatriation in its broadest sense in the 20th and 21st centuries. "Sonic" or "musical" repatriation refers primarily to the return of audiovisual archival materials to the communities from which they were initially recorded or collected. Repatriation is overtly guided by an ethical mandate to "return," providing reconnection and Indigenous control and access to cultural materials - but as the chapters in this collection reveal, there are more dimensions to repatriation than can be described by simply "giving back" or returning archives to their "homelands."
