Summary
Sounds of Change: Nationalism, Decolonization, and the Power of Sound
What is the role of sound in nationalism and decolonisation? This book is framed around sound and conviviality.
Culturally focused but with regard to the materialities of sound, it evaluates speech, everyday life, media, computation and music. It does not simply map these phenomena but looks at them as convivial formations in the contexts of global capitalism, nationalism and racism.
