1. This important and very timely book provides a critical look at the role of music in teaching about the Black Lives Matter movement and the importance of promoting social equality via fieldwork from the perspectives of scholars of color. 2. This collection is an accessibly written tool for scholars and students in higher education. It uses case studies to help readers navigate teaching, studying, fostering understanding, and being an activist-scholar during this contemporary era of the Black Lives Matter movement. 3. It is the first book in our new series, Activist Encounters in Folklore and Ethnomusicology, and flows directly from important conversations currently occurring within the American Folklore Society and the Society for Ethnomusicology. As such, it will have a strong audience among Ethnomusicologists as well as Folklorists and instructors using music to teach about Black Lives Matter and current events. It has potential among general readers as well.
