Blues Mamas and Broadway Belters: Black Women, Voice, and the Musical Stage - Refiguring American Music
Masi Asare
Songwriter, scholar, and dramatist Masi Asare explores the singing practice of Black women singers in US musical theatre between 1900 and 1970. Challenging pervasive narratives that these and other Black women possessed “untrained” voices, Asare theorizes singing as a form of sonic citational practice.
