The Race of Sound: Listening, Timbre, and Vocality in African American Music - Refiguring American Music
Nina Sun Eidsheim
Examining singers Marian Anderson, Billie Holiday, and Jimmy Scott as well as vocal synthesis technology, Nina Sun Eidsheim traces the ways in which the voice and its qualities are socially produced and how listeners assign a series of racialized and gendered set of assumptions to a singing voice.
