Extends our understanding of music across landscapes where belonging and self-determination are enacted daily. Through hybrid ethnographic and participatory research, Liz Przybylski examines the infrastructure of settler media terrains and, more importantly, Indigenous artists' ruptures of it. Her examination of the online-offline divide, practices of distribution, and regulatory environments of broadcast systems are coupled with the power of Indigenous artists who encourage us to go beyond hearing. Through deft close readings of artists' practices, she introduces us to the possibilities of relational listening., The rich ethnography details the rise of sonic self-determination in contemporary culture through radio broadcasting and live concert events. Writing in smooth, poetic prose, Przybylski asserts that understanding music requires an understanding of its cultural space., Liz Przybylski's Sonic Sovereignty is a remarkably exciting text that employs a multipronged interdisciplinary methodology that emphasizes how musical expression can act as a powerful decolonial force and is one that I wholly recommend., Excavates Indigenous rap's role in moving us in decolonial directions. Liz Przybylski teases out the confluence of mainstream forces that (re)produce silences while spotlighting artists' refusals, prompting new expressions of audibility. Sonic Sovereignty gifts us with insight into the intimacies of listening and the political possibility of learning to listen differently.

Synopsis
What does sovereignty sound like? Sonic Sovereignty explores how contemporary Indigenous musicians champion self-determination through musical expression in Canada and the United States. The framework of "sonic sovereignty" connects self-definition, collective determination, and Indigenous land rematriation to the immediate and long-lasting effects of expressive culture. Przybylski covers online and offline media spaces, following musicians and producers as they, and their music, circulate across broadcast and online networks. Przybylski documents and reflects on shifts in both the music industry and political landscape in the last fifteen years: just as the ways in which people listen to, consume, and interact with popular music have radically changed, large public conversations have flourished around contemporary Indigenous culture, settler responsibility, Indigenous leadership, and decolonial futures. Sonic Sovereignty encourages us to experiment with the temporal possibilities of listening by detailing moments when a sample, lyric, or musical reference moves a listener out of time. Przybylski maintains that hip hop and many North American Indigenous practices, all drawn from storytelling, welcome nonlinear listening. The musical readings presented in this book thus explore how musicians use tools to help listeners embrace rupture, and how out-of-time listening creates decolonial possibilities., Winner, 2024 International Association for the Study of Popular Music Canada Book Prize Honorable Mention, 2024 Alan Merriam Prize, given by the Society for Ethnomusicology What does sovereignty sound like?

Przybylski documents and reflects on shifts in both the music industry and political landscape over the course of a decade: as the ways in which people listen to, consume, and interact with popular music have radically changed, extensive public conversations have flourished around contemporary Indigenous culture, settler responsibility, Indigenous leadership, and decolonial futures. Sonic Sovereignty encourages us to experiment with temporal possibilities of listening by detailing moments when a sample, lyric, or musical reference moves a listener out of normative time. Nonlinear storytelling practices from hip hop music and other North American Indigenous sonic practices inform these generative listenings.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
