Based on thirteen months of ethnographic fieldwork writing songs with Sardinian musicians, artisans, shepherds, poets, and language activists, Kristina Jacobsen asks: How are Sardinian lives and language ideologies narrated against the backdrop of American music?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book shows how Sardinian musicians sing their own history between the lines. It reveals how Sardinian songs become a site of transduction where, through the process of songwriting, recording, and performance, the energy from one genre of music and lingua-culture is harnessed to signal another one much closer to home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSing Me Back Home\u003c\/em\u003e is accompanied by original songs written and recorded in the field, with links to songs in each chapter.
