- Summary
- "HONK! Music Activism in a Street Band Renaissance reflects on the recent, transnational revival of street bands. It provides a window into diverse manifestations of cultural activity that mobilizes communities to reimagine the public square, protest injustice, and celebrate community. With the joy of participatory music making at its core, HONK bands are a fast-growing phenomena, asserting their activism through "radical inclusion," active musical engagement in street protests, and grassroots organization. This collection of twenty-two essays, voiced in various local contexts, describes how the diversity of manifestations of these movements parallels the rich diversity of the musical repertoires these bands play and share. The HONK! Festival of Activist Street Bands began in Somerville, Mass, in 2006 as an independent, non-commercial, street festival, featuring community-based brass and percussion bands. HONK has since spread to three continents. The contributors tackle a diverse range of themes, including circulation of repertoire, innovative musical pedagogies, musical engagement within protest, and various theories of activism, incl. the social dynamics of gender, race, and class. Musicians, activists, and scholars engage with how HONK! Festivals might pursue their goals of "changing the world.""--
