Summer Read "Brooks traces all kinds of lines...inviting voices to
talk to one another, seeing what different perspectives can offer,
opening up new ways of looking and listening." -New York Times "A
wide-ranging study of Black female artists, from elders like Bessie
Smith and Ethel Waters to Beyonce and Janelle Monae...Connecting
the sonic worlds of Black female mythmakers and truth-tellers."
-Rolling Stone "A gloriously polyphonic book." -Margo Jefferson,
author of Negroland How is it possible that iconic artists like
Aretha Franklin and Beyonce can be both at the center and on the
fringe of the culture industry? Daphne Brooks explores more than a
century of music archives to bring to life the critics, collectors,
and listeners who have shaped our perceptions of Black women both
on stage and in the recording studio. Liner Notes for the
Revolution offers a startling new perspective, informed by the
overlooked contributions of other Black women artists. We discover
Zora Neale Hurston as a sound archivist and performer, Lorraine
Hansberry as a queer feminist critic of modern culture, and Pauline
Hopkins as America's first Black female cultural commentator.
Brooks tackles the complicated racial politics of blues music
recording, song collecting, and rock and roll criticism in this
long overdue celebration of Black women musicians as radical
intellectuals.
