Reviews
For this book Roberts' work offers vital insights into constructs and consequences of race and identity in music in the US and suggests more nuances articulations of the inherent complexities of this music. Readers unfamiliar with the US context still will find this work valuable as it provides a solid and accesible approach to ideas that, in some previous research, are oversimplified and lack Robert's rigour. Roberts also takes great care not to present false equivalences between the two minority groups, nor does she avoid diligent consideration of problematic definitions, tensions, exoticization, sensitivities, stereotypes, and more. In doing so, this work may carry broader implications as she presents a thorough and useful way to interrogate racial systems in their entirety, all while advancing discourses on hybridity, multiculturalism, and identity in an ever-shifting world. * 2017 Yearbook For Traditional Music *
