The Quiet Zone

Caribbean Expressive Cultures and the Feminist Aesthetics of Disturbance

Beschreibung

The Quiet Zone examines what the emergence of quiet as an elite aesthetic, privilege, and entitlement means for Afro-Caribbean people who are often narrated as loud, disruptive, and disturbing, sonically, visually, and otherwise. The book reveals the ways quiet operates as regulatory ideal of racial, gender, sexual, national, and civilizational belonging in the Caribbean and its diasporas.
