Dissonant Sounds is a global, interdisciplinary look at sound and conviviality in the contexts of global capitalism, nationalism, and racism.

Culturally focused but with regard to the materialities of sound, Dissonant Sounds evaluates speech, everyday life, media, computation and music. It does not simply map these phenomena but looks at them as convivial formations in the contexts of global capitalism, nationalism and racism.

With contributors based-in and discussing areas across the globe including South America, North America, the Caribbean, West Africa, Europe, South Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East and from fields including anthropology, sociology, geography, history, ethnomusicology and sound studies, the collection presents a diverse range of spaces and voices. It assesses the ways in which forms of ordinary cultural interactions convey and exceed the dominant racial politics of the moment.
