Ironically, critiques of whiteness are found not only in black literature and media, but also within the blues, jazz, and spirituals that whites listened to, loved, collected, and archived. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book argues that whiteness is not only a visual orientation; it is a way of hearing. Inspired by formulations of the race and whiteness in the existential writings of Frantz Fanon, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, W.E.B. Du Bois, Richard Wright, Lewis Gordon, Angela Davis, bell hooks and Sara Ahmed, T Storm Heter introduces the notion of the white sonic gaze.\u003cbr\u003eThrough case studies and musical examples from the history of American jazz, the book builds a phenomenological archive to demonstrate the bad habits of ‘white listening’, drawing from black journalism, the autobiographies of Creole musicians, and the lyrics and sonic content of early jazz music emerging from New Orleans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStudying white listening orientations on the plantation, in vaudeville minstrel shows, and in cabarets, the book portrays six types of bad faith white listeners, including the white minstrel listener, the white savior listener, white hipster listener, and the white colorblind listener. Connecting critical race studies, music studies, philosophy of race and existentialism, this book is for students to learn how to critique the phenomenology of whiteness and practice decolonial listening. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Jazz Pedagogy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Sonic Orientations\u003cbr\u003eHearing Race Through Closed Ears\u003cbr\u003eWhiteness is a Sonic Orientation\u003cbr\u003eExistential Phenomenology \u003cbr\u003eVisualism \u003cbr\u003eStudying Sound\u003cbr\u003eThe Sonic Gaze\u003cbr\u003eCreolizing Listening\u003cbr\u003eA Woman Speaks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: The Jazz Problem: Patterns of White Bad-Faith\u003cbr\u003eHow Does It Feel To Be a White Sonic Problem?\u003cbr\u003eWhite Minstrel Listening\u003cbr\u003eWhite Savior Listening\u003cbr\u003eWhite Hipster Listening\u003cbr\u003eWhite Revivalist Listening\u003cbr\u003eWhite Colorblind Listening\u003cbr\u003eUpgraded White Colorblind Listening\u003cbr\u003eEcstatic Listening \u003cbr\u003eWhite Existentialism and The White Problem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eListening Exercises for Chapter 2: The Jazz Problem: Patterns of White Bad Faith Listening\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Listening to Difference: Creole Critiques of White Listening\u003cbr\u003eThe Creolizing Phenomenology of Sidney Bechet\u003cbr\u003eWhite Revivalist Listening: Nostalgia, Authenticity, and Discovery \u003cbr\u003ePlantation Listening: Geography and Gender\u003cbr\u003eListening in the Big House\u003cbr\u003eWhite Women’s Listening \u003cbr\u003eThe Creolizing Jazz of Edward “Kid” Ory\u003cbr\u003eJazz is a Verb: The Original Creole Band \u003cbr\u003eFrancophone Newspapers in New Orleans\u003cbr\u003eThe Creolizing Listening of Édouard Glissant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eListening Exercises for Chapter 3: Listening to Difference: Music and Creole Phenomenology \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: The Ears of a Guilty People: Africana Critiques of White Listening\u003cbr\u003eThe Sonic Gaze in Black Existential Thought\u003cbr\u003eW.
