This book addresses how whiteness is represented in heavy metal
scenes and practices, both as a site of academic inquiry and force
of cultural significance. The author argues that whiteness, and
more specifically white masculinity, has been given normative value
which obscures the contributions of women and people of colour, and
affirms the exclusory understandings of 'belonging' which have
featured in the metal scenes of Norway, South Africa, and
Australia. Utilizing critical discourse analysis and critical
textual analysis of musical texts, promotional material, and
participant-based observation ethnographies, it explores how the
texts, discourses, and practices produced and articulated by metal
scene members and scholars alike have presented heavy metal as a
white, masculine pastime, yet also considers the vital work done by
scene members to confront expressions of exclusory misogyny and
racism when they emerge in metal scenes. The book will be of
interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of metal music
studies, leisure studies, sociology of culture and sociology of
racism.
