Trad Nation: Gender, Sexuality, and Race in Irish Traditional Music

ISBN
9780819579287
A provocative call to dislodge ethnic nationalism from Irish traditional music Just how "Irish" is traditional Irish music? Trad Nation combines ethnography, oral history, and archival research to challenge the longstanding practice of using ethnic nationalism as a framework for understanding vernacular music traditions. Tes Slominski argues that ethnic nationalism hinders this music's development today in an increasingly multiethnic Ireland and in the transnational Irish traditional music scene. She discusses early 21st century women whose musical lives were shaped by Ireland's struggles to become a nation; follows the career of Julia Clifford, a fiddler who lived much of her life in England, and explores the experiences of women, LGBTQ+ musicians, and musicians of color in the early 21st century.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Tes SlominskiPublisher: Wesleyan University PressPublished: 05/05/2020ISBN: 9780819579287Pages: 256Weight: 0.80lbsReview Citations: Choice 10/01/2020
