Putting a Song on Top of It: Expression and Identity on the San Carlos Apache Reservation by David W. Samuels

by David W. Samuels

For many people on the San Carlos Apache reservation, both the traditional calls of the Mountain Spirits and the hard edge of a country, rock, or reggae song can evoke the feeling of being Apache. Using insights gained from both linguistic and musical practices in the community--as well as from his own experience playing in an Apache band--Samuels offers new ways of thinking about cultural identity.
