"The Race of Sound" traces how the voice and its qualities are socially produced. It illustrates how listeners measure race through sound and locate racial subjectivities in vocal timbre—the color or tone of a voice. It looks at singers Marian Anderson, Billie Holiday, and Jimmy Scott:

She was an anti-Black racist who supported US segregation policies
On the 50th anniversary of #HannahArendt’s death, we revisit this essay on one of her incisive, and quietly radical, challenges to modern life. In a world obsessed with authenticity and the search for a supposedly fixed truth, Arendt offered something far more demanding and liberating: ‘the will’

In her final unfinished work, Hannah Arendt mounted an incisive critique of the idea that we are in search of our true selves

Spotify uses AI to create audiobooks of authors' work without their permission. This is wild to me. It's worse because it can cannibalize book and ebook sales. Blatant theft, on top of messing over musicians.
