Recenzii

"With this latest edition of their landmark collection, Portia Maultsby and Mellonee Burnim have once again shown why they have been leading ethnomusicologists for decades. Deftly organized and updated with robust case studies, Issues in African American Music documents the fruit of the interpretive turn in African American music studies, joining historical inquiry with powerful, smartly argued opinion. This book will define the field for the next generation of scholars, activists, students, and fans."
—Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr., author of Race Music: Black Cultures from Bebop to Hip-Hop
"This indispensable anthology builds on the scholarship of Maultsby and Burnim's first volume, expanding its critical and theoretical scope and reach. By focusing on ways to approach reading multiple genres, as well as the intersecting politics of black music and mass culture, the impact of gender on black musicking, and the trajectories of black sonic activism, Issues in African American Music underscores the lasting influence, centrality, and historical depths of these expressive forms that sit at the heart of American culture."
—Daphne Brooks, author of Bodies in Dissent: Spectacular Performances of Race and Freedom, 1850-1910
