African musical arts on the continent are as vibrant and diverse as the societies and communities whose creativity and performances enliven life in both temporal and non-temporal domains. As a form of communication, African musical arts operate within a larger framework of orality where musical sounds and expressions constitute symbolic and living curricula, which consistently generate knowledge systems about the African worldview. Orality, however, does not imply lack of literacy, as songs, instrumental accompaniment, storytelling, epic poems, instrumental music, and the physical body of musical instruments indexes literacy in subtle and intricate ways. Ultimately, the International Symposium on the Musical Arts of Africa (ISMAA) will foster crucial dialogues on critical issues, including the imbalanced power dynamics between researchers and African communities, the persistent challenge for African societies to access scholarship produced in the West, and “research fatigue” among African communities, which occurs when Africans become uncomfortable and less receptive toward Western academics.

Eizenstat in The Art of Diplomacy: How American Negotiators Reached Historic Agreements that Changed the World (Rowman & Littlefield, May 28, 2024), recounts America’s most significant and consequential negotiations over the past 50 years. These include efforts to resolve conflicts from the Middle East peace process to “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland to lingering issues of World War II, from the reunification of Germany to justice for Holocaust survivors. Eizenstat addresses the use of American military force as an instrument of diplomacy, from Vietnam to the Balkan Wars in Bosnia and Kosovo, to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, drawing lessons that are applicable to today’s conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.
