Synopsis "Music-Making in U.S. Prisons: Listening to Incarcerated Voices"
The U.S. incarceration machine imprisons morepeople than in any other country. Music-Making in U.S. Prisons looksat the role music-making can play in achieving goals of accountability andhealing that challenge the widespread assumption that prisons and punishmentkeep societies safe. The book's synthesis of historical research, contemporary practices, and pedagogies of music-making inside prisons revealsthat, prior to the 1970s tough-on-crime era, choirs, instrumental ensembles, and radio shows bridged lives inside and outside prisons. Mass incarcerationhad a significant negative impact on music programs. Despite this setback, current programs testify to the potency of music education to support personaland social growth for people experiencing incarceration and deepen socialawareness of the humanity found behind prison walls. Cohen and Duncan argue that music-making createsopportunities to humanize the complexity of crime, sustain meaningfulrelationships between incarcerated individuals and their families, and buildsocial awareness of the prison industrial complex. The authors combinescholarship and personal experience to guide music educators, musicaficionados, and social activists to create restorative social practicesthrough music-making.
