Summary

Queering the Popular Pitch is a new collection of eighteen essays by international scholars who explore the queer iconography implicit in a variety of art forms, including film musicals, videos, cabaret, Latin House, poetry and, in some cases, cultural personae. The authors delve into issues concerning race and ethnicity, forgotten histories, the body in music, and the use of popular music in power politics-situating music within the broader patterns of culture that it both mirrors and actively reproduces. The essays also forge alliances between academics, activists, scholars and listeners-with the aim of exploring the ways in which queering has challenged cultural, social and musical structures.
