Description: Sound Relations delves into histories of Inuit musical life in Alaska to register the significance of sound as integral to self - determination and sovereignty. Offering radical and relational ways of listening to Inuit performances across a range of genres - - from hip hop to Christian hymnody and traditional drumsongs to funk and R& B - - author Jessica Bissett Perea registers how a density (not difference) of Indigenous ways of musicking from a vast archive of presence sounds out entanglements between structures of Indigeneity and colonialism. This work dismantles stereotypical understandings of " Eskimos " " Indians " and " Natives" by addressing the following questions: What exactly is " Native" about Native music? What does it mean to sound (or not sound) Native? Who decides? And how can in - depth analyses of Native music that center Indigeneity reframe larger debates of race power and representation in twenty - first century American music historiography? Instead of proposing singular truths or facts this book invites readers to consider the existence of multiple simultaneous truths a density of truths all of which are culturally constructed performed and in some cases politicized and policed. Native ways of doing music history engage processes of sound worlding that envision otherwise beyond nation - state notions of containment and glorifications of Alaska as solely an extraction site for U. S. settler capitalism and instead amplifies possibilities for more just and equitable futures.
