Title: Divining an Afrofuturist Music Education.
Authors: Sánchez-Gatt, Lorenzo1
Source: Action, Criticism & Theory for Music Education. Nov2023, Vol. 22 Issue 4, p131-158. 28p.
Subject Terms: *Music education, Afrofuturism, Racial identity of Black people
Abstract: I argue that an analysis of antiblack racism in music education discourse is crucial in identifying and addressing potential for harm in the music classroom. I contend that Black children are particularly, and regularly, subjected to poor stereotypical depictions of their identity in digital media. Furthermore, I contend that this digital socialization has farreaching implications in school. I use the framework of Black Critical Theory (BlackCrit) to explore interpersonal, curricular, and environmental sites of antiblack assault that are commonplace in schools and, specifically, music classrooms. Using a selection of Janelle Monáe's music, I explore themes of resistance and affirmation through an Afrofuturist lens. I conclude my paper by proposing that Afrofuturism can serve as a disruption that may create sites of affirmation for Black children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
