"The studies here embrace Australia, the Caribbean, Estonia, the Philippines, Portugal, South Africa, and Sweden, with a historical span from forerunners of jazz of the nineteenth century to the music’s engagement with World Music since the late twentieth, a range that testifies to the continuing reinvention of the music in its global negotiations with the local. This collection is an intervention against the traditional 'center-periphery' model of jazz historiography. "
