In today's culture, popular music is a vital site where ideas about
gender and sexuality are imagined and disseminated. Popular Music
and the Politics of Hope: Queer and Feminist Interventions explores
what that means with a wide-ranging collection of chapters that
consider the many ways in which contemporary pop music performances
of gender and sexuality are politically engaged and even radical.
With analyses rooted in feminist and queer thought, contributors
explore music from different genres and locations, including
Beyonce's Lemonade, A Tribe Called Red's We Are the Halluci Nation,
and celebrations of Vera Lynn's 100th Birthday. At a bleak moment
in global politics, this collection focuses on the concept of
critical hope: the chapters consider making and consuming popular
music as activities that encourage individuals to imagine and work
toward a better, more just world. Addressing race, class, aging,
disability, and colonialism along with gender and sexuality, the
authors articulate the diverse ways popular music can contribute to
the collective political projects of queerness and feminism. With
voices from senior and emerging scholars, this volume offers a
snapshot of today's queer and feminist scholarship on popular music
that is an essential read for students and scholars of music and
cultural studies.
