Raktažodžiai:
Music is powerful and transformational, but can it spur actual social change?

A strong collection of essays, At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice studies the meaning of music within a community to investigate the intersections of sound and race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and differing abilities. Ethnographic work from a range of theoretical frameworks uncovers and analyzes the successes and limitations of music's efficacies in resolving conflicts, easing tensions, reconciling groups, promoting unity, and healing communities. This volume is rooted in the Crossroads Section for Difference and Representation of the Society for Ethnomusicology, whose mandate is to address issues of diversity, difference, and underrepresentation in the society and its members' professional spheres. Activist scholars who contribute to this volume illuminate possible pathways and directions to support musical diversity and representation.

At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice is an excellent resource for readers interested in real-world examples of how folklore, ethnomusicology, and activism can, together, create a more just and inclusive world.

— The lead volume editors, Brenda Romero and Susan Asai, were co-chairs of the Crossroads Section for Difference and Representation at the Society for Ethnomusicology. They judged essay submissions to a contest that they arranged and provided feedback to all before selecting those to appear in the volume, including those from Crossroads Founder Kyra Gaunt and first prizewinner David McDonald, and pursued new contributions from at least two authors.

— Activist scholars in this volume uncover and analyze the successes and limitations of music's efficacies in resolving conflicts, easing tensions, reconciling groups, promoting unity, and bringing healing to communities. As a result, they point to new directions and pathways to understand music and social justice and put it in action.

— The Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at IU, a world-renowned center for the integrative study of expressive cultural practices, is allied with the Society for Ethnomusicology on campus. Our lists reflect this strength of our host university and make IUP the rightful home for this work that is a result of the SEM Crossroads Section.

— The target audience includes students, researchers, and teachers in folklore and ethnomusicology. It could be an exemplary volume for any field that wants to follow suit.

Recenzijos

"An insightful critique of ethnomusicology that challenges its colonialist roots and the resulting inequalities and exclusionary practices. At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice provides multiple paths to restructuring the discipline around the ideologies of social justice. In the process, the 'new norm' embraces differencethe ideas, opinions, approaches, and priorities of historically  marginalized groups. This book turns the discipline on its head with the goal of encouraging ethnomusicologists to engage in self-reflection on how we research, teach and practice ethnomusicology. At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice is an ideal companion for monographs on the history of the field."Portia K. Maultsby, coeditor of Issues in African American Music: Power, Gender, Race, Representation and African American Music: An Introduction, 2nd ed. "The book's emphasis on a justice-oriented ethnomusicology offers hope. Gathering what could be called testimonio-like narratives by established scholars, the editors work to reimagine the field as one that is justice-oriented and in the process take the pulse of this exciting and necessary discipline. The editors have culled the work of authors to present the pedagogical implications as well as the practice of a social justice approach to the study of music and to performance. They are spot on in grouping the chapters around four main themes: Truth Telling and Listening Lovingly, Radical Inclusivity, Coalition Building, and Direct Action. The contributors' voices build a coherent picture through intriguing explorations of the field and offer new directions toward a justice-oriented ethnomusicology."Norma E. Cantś, Trinity University "At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice stands out for blending ethnographies with firsthand accounts from established scholars, and aiming for inclusivity and growth in ethnomusicology by mentoring authors with diverse backgrounds and challenges. The volume is an example of the political activist projects it proposes, an exercise in truth-telling and listening lovingly, radical inclusivity, coalition building, and direct action, which are precisely the names of the sections that divide the publication. . . . Congratulations to all the editors and contributors to this fantastic volume."Eduardo Herrera, Indiana University, Journal of Folklore Research Reviews
