Abstract

Kira Thurman's I Singing Like Germans: Black Musicians in the Land of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms i reveals how the answer to this question depends on who is listening, who is performing and even who is mediating classical music performances. As such, Thurman examines how black musicians' performances resonate with white listeners who espouse the universality of German classical music, while they simultaneously engage in processes of gendered racialization that have their roots in colonialism, nationalism and biological racism.
