4.9/5 (25504 ratings)

Description:In Women s Bands in America: Performing Music and Gender, contributors trace women's emerging roles in society as seen through women's bands spanning three centuries of American history. Authors explore town, immigrant, family, school, suffrage, military, swing, and rock bands, adopting a variety of methodologies and theoretical lenses in order to assemble and interrogate their findings within the context of women's roles in American society over time. This survey uncovers new areas of research in the history of women's bands. Previous book-length works on this subject represent only the tip of the iceberg for what remains a vast and unclaimed terra incognita in women's history. Women's Bands in America is the first comprehensive exploration of women s bands across the three centuries in American history. Contributors bring together a series of disciplines in this unique work, including musicology, American history, women's studies, and history of education. They also draw on numerous primary sources: diaries, personal letters, military documents and records, oral-history interviews, newspaper articles, film, radio-broadcast recordings and transcripts, photographs, military documents, recordings, and published ephemera. Thoroughly, contributors engage in iconographic study, content analysis, qualitative research, case study, biography, and archival historical research to bring their topics to life. This ambitious collection will be of use not only to students and scholars of music history, but also women's studies and America's social history. Contributions by: Vilka E. Castillo Silva, Dawn Farmer, Dannelle D. Larson, Brian Meyers, Sarah Minette, Gayle Murchison, Jeananne Nichols, Joanna Ross Hersey, Sarah Schmalenberger, and Sondra Wieland Howe."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
