Reviews
"'Empire,' for most of these authors, is not restrained to political empires. Instead, it entails a broad understanding of declining national sovereignty, modern capitalism, and multinational enterprises, all reflected by and in sound. That gaze alone makes this a dynamic and interesting book for historians to consult." -- Jessica Gienow-Hecht * Canadian Journal of History *
"Audible Empire is a project admirably conceived and executed, consistent in its compelling, well-written, and timely scholarship." -- Ruth E. Rosenberg * Notes *
"Audible Empire . . . offers a complex, far-reaching, and sophisticated set of perspectives for considering various constructions of empire and a wide range of sonic acts that have been and continue to be interconnected." -- Sindhumathi Revuluri * Music and Letters *
"A welcome publication, adding the subjectivity and fluidity of music, sound, and listening to an already complex network of scholarly explorations about processes of empire formation. . . . This volume brings to the foreground more than an array of perspectives on the audible aspects of empire formation; it highlights the many tensions that are involved in writing history and thinking historically, about empires and about music making in general." -- Cristina Magaldi * Journal of the Society for American Music *
