Remapping Sound Studies ed. by Gavin Steingo and Jim Sykes (review)

White and Black travel experiences. With the advent of powerful car sound systems, African Americans began to “announce the driver and passengers’ presence in the public sphere” (p. 145). These intrusions into traditionally White-owned spaces have resulted in violent responses, as in the Davis–Dunn case. Adding to this scenario, many of these intrusions are framed by vilified hip-hop or rap music, “when resistant, black, working-class sounds of hip-hop enter into the white space of the open road, the disruption has historically been interpreted by white US Americans as a violent threat” (p. 153). Popular Music and Automobiles is a valuable source of analyses in the seldom explored world of music and automobiles. The variety of analytic approaches used in the contributions to this collection, as well their wealth of ideas for further research, makes this volume essential for any well-rounded academic library.
