Women's Bands in America is the first comprehensive exploration of
women's bands across the three centuries in American history.
Contributors trace women's emerging roles in society as seen
through women's bands-concert and marching-spanning three centuries
of American history. Authors explore town, immigrant,industry,
family, school, suffrage, military, jazz, and rock bands, adopting
a variety of methodologies and theoretical lenses in order to
assemble and interrogate their findings within the context of
women's roles in American society over time. Contributors bring
together a series of disciplines in this unique work, including
music education, musicology, American history, women's studies, and
history of education. They also draw on numerous primary sources:
diaries, film, military records, newspaper articles, oral-history
interviews, personal letters, photographs, published ephemera,
radio broadcasts, and recordings. Thoroughly, contributors engage
in archival historical research, biography, case study, content
analysis, iconographic study, oral history, and qualitative
research to bring their topics to life. This ambitious collection
will be of use not only to students and scholars of instrumental
music education, music history and ethnomusicology, but also gender
studies and American social history. Contributions by: Vilka E.
Castillo Silva, Dawn Farmer, Danelle Larson, Brian Meyers, Sarah
Minette, Gayle Murchison, Jeananne Nichols, David Rickels, Joanna
Ross Hersey, Sarah Schmalenberger, Amy Spears, and Sondra Wieland
Howe.
