Black country music : listening for revolutions / Francesca T. Royster. by Royster, Francesca T. University of Texas Press, 2022. Call #: 781.642089 R892b Subjects Country music -- United States -- History and criticism.   Blacks -- United States -- Music -- 20th century.   Music and race -- United States. Series American music series (Austin, Tex.) ISBN:  9781477326497 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  ix, 230 p. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-219) and index. Summary:  ""What happens when we look at US country music through a black feminist and queer eye?" Francesca Royster suggests it reveals a group of mostly invisible fans and performers in a 'white' musical genre, some of whom are intervening in that space in ways that are creative, risky and inherently 'soulful.' While loving country music can be an exercise in shaming and rejection for these fans, the music is also a space of creativity, resistance, and power. Royster contends that the pleasures country music offers some Black listeners can be connected to Eve Sedgwick's idea of queerness as 'the open mesh of possibilities' within any group that 'doesn't signify monolithically.' That makes for a useful lens for exploring the ways that country music changes people as they listen, perform and consume, both as individuals and in community."--From publisher.
