During our fiveto sixhour drives, I talked about my research on musical masculinity, while my theologianactivist guy shared provocative YouTube videos and podcasts facilitated by hiphop sages to stir conversation.1 The sages selfidentify variously as PanAfrican, American descendants of slaves (ADOS) or Foundational Black Americans (FBA), among other Blackcentered/Africancentered terms. The ADOS/FBA experts probed a constellation of obscure discourses: extraterrestrial encounters, Dr. Sebi, erased ancient African histories, reparations, Black love, and “conscious” hiphop.2 Discussing these topics with Calvin afforded me familiarity with Black men’s curation of complex creativeintellectual space irrespective of dominant culture’s understanding of their discourses. Central to this enigmatic genre of orality is speculation, inspecting structural barriers in an idiom their people recognize. From Tidal.com to BlackMagikUniversity.com to 4BiddenKnowledge.com, controlling one’s virtual presence is an essential facet of agency in the hiphop tradition.

While just a few days prior I had been negotiating springbreak travel plans, the cascading announcements of institutional closures, travel and other restrictions, and conference cancelations led us to set up the series in just a few (frantic) days. MSaaD—though relatively small in scope and casual in tone—thus became an early harbinger and prototype for the myriad virtual conferences and other professional events that would be undertaken across the next few years. Music Scholarship at a Distance was an early instance of a wave of virtual programming that arose in the wake of the pandemic’s shutdown effects. It was originally envisioned as a replacement venue for scholarship that would have been presented at canceled spring 2020 conferences, like the annual Society for American Music conference. All told, it ran for seven weeks that spring and early summer, with 35 papers and presentations given, and a daily audience ranging from 30 to 100 scholars. Presenters ranged across the subdisciplines of music scholarship and included veteran senior scholars as well as earlycareer scholars","PeriodicalId":43462,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47617072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than a linear narrative, these comments present a trio of contrapuntally interlocking themes: American music, African American musicologists, and the American nation more broadly. I am writing this as we approach Independence Day 2022, a holiday that says a lot about Americanness in the United States as it celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This suggests a point of freedom for the nation: a late eighteenthcentury liberation from their colonial status to the British. I was a child when this country celebrated its 200th anniversary in 1976 and, like other 4th of July celebrations in my family, this time marked a moment in the summer that meant a festive holiday, yet also felt a bit disembodied: how did I fit into this independence and liberation given our nation’s history? As I grew up, the meaning of the nation’s freedom became more convoluted. What had given us the right to fight for this land to make it ours? As former British citizens, when the founding fathers took this country and declared freedom, who were we now colonizing as there were indigenous communities practicing sophisticated cultures already here on this land? How did enslaved people brought from other countries fit in, who got to belong? Who was displaced? What does liberation mean?","PeriodicalId":43462,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43625023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simply put, here, I address manifestations of racism toward Asians and Asian Americans in music schools/departments and at meetings of our professional societies. Reports of antiAsian incidents have increased since the former U.S. President’s reference to the virus with a racist moniker.1 In response, cultural, industry, and political leaders, including President Obama, expressed outrage, and warned against a possible rise in antiAsian sentiment. A BBC News Report in May 2020 referenced incidents that posed threats to the safety and dignity of Asians, in the aftermath of the thenpresident’s feckless remark.2 More recently, the online ecosystem has also been the site of antiAsian racism.
