دانلود کتاب راهنمای موسیقی و کوئرنس آکسفورد

The great debt of this book is to the writers and thinkers who have created and sustained the field of queer music studies. Such work required courage from the beginning and still does to the present. Many authors in queer music studies identify as LGBTQ+ personally; others who do not may be assumed to have close connections with LGBTQ+ people. Either way, but especially for those who are LGBTQ+, we have had to reckon with prevalent discrimination—homophobia, transphobia, racism, classism—making decisions about self-presentation in our lives and our workplaces and in our public professional work. The Handbook chapters by Gould and Fisk describe personal longing and struggle. It should be understood that every chapter in this book is the outcome of a long series of commitments made in potentially hostile environments. The content of this book should be savored not only as knowledge but also as perseverance and integrity.
