At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice 
Indiana University Press 2022

Co-edited by Andrew Snyder, Brenda Romero, Susan Asai, David McDonald and Katelyn Best, 
At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice aims to promote a justice-oriented ethnomusicology, one that puts ethics at the forefront of the concerns of researchers, teachers, and practitioners of the world’s diverse musical practices. Emerging from the Society for Ethnomusicology’s Crossroads Section for Difference and Representation, the book offers research that intersects with a diversity of social categories, including race, class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability in ways that highlight the challenges facing marginalized communities and identities, as well as their creative responses.

This book is divided into four sections that represent a sequence of political actions beginning with genuine listening to marginalized perspectives and leading ultimately to political transformation: “Truth Telling and Listening,” “Radical Inclusivity,” “Coalition Building,” and “Direct Action.” All of the ethnographies advance the frontiers of scholarship in an effort to be more inclusive and creative in approaches to research and writing. In addition to more traditional ethnographies, the editors invited six established ethnomusicologists, mostly scholars of marginalized communities who have supported the Crossroads Section through leadership and advocacy, to reflect autoethnographically about their concerns with the intersections of music and social justice throughout their careers.
