Description
Assembling a Black Counter Culture by DeForrest Brown (Jr.) is a critical history that reclaims techno's origins in Detroit and beyond. This book explores how the genre has been shaped over time by a Black American musical sensibility, tracing its evolution from the 1980s to the present day. DeForrest Brown, Jr examines the pivotal figures and scenes that have defined techno, including the Belleville Three and Underground Resistance, as well as the connections between industrialized labor systems and cultural production. By drawing on a range of sources, including Theodore Roszak's Making of a Counter Culture and James Boggs' writings, Brown offers a compelling case for techno's unique history. This book is written from a Black theoretical perspective, aiming to subvert the racist and classist status quo in the mainstream musical-historical record. With its rich analysis and engaging narrative, Assembling a Black Counter Culture makes a compelling argument for techno's significance and relevance today.
