Indigenous Audibilities - Amanda Minks - Bog

Indigenous Audibilities follows the social relations that created collections of Indigenous music in four case studies linking the U.S., Mexico, Nicaragua, and Chile. Author Amanda Minks brings together vivid storytelling and theories of collection, voice, and recording to challenge the transparency of archives as a historical source. She presents a social-historical method of listening, reading, and thinking beyond the referentiality of archived texts, and in the process uncovers neglected genealogies of cultural music research in the Americas.
