Radiation Sounds by Jessica A Schwartz
Jessica A. Schwartz examines the seventy-five years of Marshallese music developed in response to the United States' nuclear weapons testing on their homeland, showing how Marshallese singing practices make heard the harmful effects of US nuclear violence.
“In this fascinating ethnography of singing as a sonic politics of Indigenous postcolonial identity, Jessica ASchwartz reveals the intimate historical relations between aurality and nuclear war. Ambitious and unique, Radiation Sounds brings the sensory materialities of ‘the bomb’ home to the lives lived and songs sung in its shadow.” -- David Novak, author of * Japanoise: Music at the Edge of Circulation *
"This is a very sophisticated and well-researched book, enriched by the sharing of personal experience and observations that illuminate the research relationships that form its foundation. . . . This book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars: historians, political scientists, anthropologists, Pacific studies, gender studies, and disaster studies scholars, in addition to ethnomusicologists and dance ethnologists. In teaching, it would be a good resource for graduate students." -- Kirsty Gillespie * Yearbook for Traditional Music *
