Book Synopsis Race Sounds by : Nicole Brittingham Furlonge

Download or read book Race Sounds written by Nicole Brittingham Furlonge and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forging new ideas about the relationship between race and sound, Furlonge explores how black artists--including well-known figures such as writers Ralph Ellison and Zora Neale Hurston, and singers Bettye LaVette and Aretha Franklin, among others--imagine listening. Drawing from a multimedia archive, Furlonge examines how many of the texts call on readers to "listen in print." In the process, she gives us a new way to read and interpret these canonical, aurally inflected texts, and demonstrates how listening allows us to engage with the sonic lives of difference as readers, thinkers, and citizens.
