Alex Werth: On Loop, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"A pathbreaking exploration of the politics of sound, Alex Werth's On Loop reveals a dimension of power that's as important as it is invisible. Remixing fields and methods, we get to hear the frequencies of the Black freedom struggle emerge from the noise of Oakland's wrenching transformation."--Alexis Madrigal, author of The Pacific Circuit: A Globalized Account of the Battle for the Soul of an American City and cohost of KQED's Forum

"The frequencies ofOn Loopare 'loud and proud, ' revealing the complex cultural and political history of Oakland's Black sounds. Werth explores how these forms of aesthetic speech nurture the social movements of a community's will to realize a just city. It is a must-read on the audible waves of emancipation that enliven Oakland, past and present, and in turn other American cities."--Roberto Bedoya, writer and former Cultural Affairs Manager for the City of Oakland
