Sustaining Black Music and Culture during COVID-19: #Verzuz and
Club Quarantine argues that Instagram is a premier digital leisure
space to celebrate and promote Black American culture and identity,
particularly evidenced during the early days of the COVID-19
pandemic as the United States grappled with mandated
shelter-in-place orders. Club Quarantine (CQ) and Verzuz emerged as
highly successful Black music-listening events streamed on
Instagram Live, collectively ushering Black (techno)culture through
a once-in-a-generation pandemic and beyond. Contributors to this
collection explore the communicative and cultural significance of
these events as respite from social isolation and as a
rearticulated space for Black cultural engagement in the midst of
the COVID-19 pandemic and increased racial tensions in the United
States.
