In a period in which racism and gender inequity are at the fore of
public, political, and scholarly discourse, this collection
challenges systems of gatekeeping that have dictated who gets to
participate in twenty-first century country music culture. Building
on established scholarship, this book examines contemporary issues
in country music through feminist, intersectional, and
post-colonialist theories, as well as other intertextual and
cultural lenses. The authors pose questions about diversity,
representation, and identity as they relate to larger concepts of
artist and fan communities, stylistic considerations of the genre,
and modes of production from a twenty-first century perspective.
Addressing and challenging the received narrative about country
music culture, this collection delves into the gaps that are
inherent in existing approaches that privileged biography and
historiography and expands new areas of inquiry relating to
contemporary country music identity and culture.
