In the process, the 'new norm' embraces difference—the ideas, opinions, approaches, and priorities of historically  marginalized groups. This book turns the discipline on its head with the goal of encouraging ethnomusicologists to engage in self-reflection on how we research, teach and practice ethnomusicology. \u003ci\u003eAt the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal companion for monographs on the history of the field.\"—Portia K. Maultsby, coeditor of Issues in African American Music: Power, Gender, Race, Representation and African American Music: An Introduction, 2nd ed.\u003cbr\u003e \"The book's emphasis on a justice-oriented ethnomusicology offers hope. Gathering what could be called testimonio-like narratives by established scholars, the editors work to reimagine the field as one that is justice-oriented and in the process take the pulse of this exciting and necessary discipline. The editors have culled the work of authors to present the pedagogical implications as well as the practice of a social justice approach to the study of music and to performance. They are spot on in grouping the chapters around four main themes: Truth Telling and Listening Lovingly, Radical Inclusivity, Coalition Building, and Direct Action. The contributors' voices build a coherent picture through intriguing explorations of the field and offer new directions toward a justice-oriented ethnomusicology.\"—Norma E. Cantú, Trinity University\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eAt the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice\u003c\/i\u003e stands out for blending ethnographies with firsthand accounts from established scholars, and aiming for inclusivity and growth in ethnomusicology by mentoring authors with diverse backgrounds and challenges. The volume is an example of the political activist projects it proposes, an exercise in truth-telling and listening lovingly, radical inclusivity, coalition building, and direct action, which are precisely the names of the sections that divide the publication. . . .

Ethnographic work from a range of theoretical frameworks uncovers and analyzes the successes and limitations of music's efficacies in resolving conflicts, easing tensions, reconciling groups, promoting unity, and healing communities. This volume is rooted in the Crossroads Section for Difference and Representation of the Society for Ethnomusicology, whose mandate is to address issues of diversity, difference, and underrepresentation in the society and its members' professional spheres. Activist scholars who contribute to this volume illuminate possible pathways and directions to support musical diversity and representation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAt the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent resource for readers interested in real-world examples of how folklore, ethnomusicology, and activism can, together, create a more just and inclusive world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface, by Andrew G.
