We live in a world of talk. Yet Race Sounds argues that we need to listen more—not just hear things, but actively listen—particularly in relation to how we engage race, gender, and class differences. Forging new ideas about the relationship between race and sound, Furlonge explores how black artists—including well-known figures such as writers Ralph Ellison and Zora Neale Hurston, and singers Bettye LaVette and Aretha Franklin, among others—imagine listening. Drawing from a multimedia archive, Furlonge examines how many of the texts call on readers to “listen in print.” In the process, she gives us a new way to read and interpret these canonical, aurally inflected texts, and demonstrates how listening allows us to engage with the sonic lives of difference as readers, thinkers, and citizens.

Table contents:

ONE “Our Literary Audience”: Listenership in Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God and Sterling Brown’s “Ma Rainey”
TWO “To Hear the Silence of Sound”: Vibrational Listening in Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man
THREE When Malindy Listens: Audiographic Archiving in Gayl Jones’s Corregidora
FOUR “If I Allow Myself to Listen”: Slavery, Historical Thinking, and Aural Encounters in David Bradley’s The Chaneysville Incident
FIVE “New Ways to Make Us Listen”: Aural Learning in the English Classroom
