SUMMARY:CAA Lecture: Kelefa Sanneh
DESCRIPTION:Break-Up Songs: How Popular Music Got So Divisive\nPeople love 
 to talk about how popular music transcends boundaries and brings people to
 gether. I'm not so sure. I think that popular music has often pushed us ap
 art. As listeners\, we often choose the kind of songs we like by figuring 
 out what kind of songs we *don’t* like—and\, sometimes\, by figuring o
 ut what kind of people we don’t want to *be* like. The result has been a
  riot of styles and subcultures: punk rockers cherishing defiance\, techno
  obsessives chasing oblivion\; R&amp\;B fans celebrating Blackness\, count
 ry fans grappling (or not) with whiteness. Especially in America\, we have
  lately grown used to hearing people bemoan our divisiveness. Is it possib
 le that popular music shows us how we might appreciate that divisiveness\,
  instead?\n\nKelefa Sanneh is the author of “MAJOR LABELS: A History of 
 Popular Music in Seven Genres” (Penguin Press). He has been a staff writ
 er at The New Yorker since 2008\, before which he spent six years as a pop
 -music critic at The New York Times. He is also a contributor to CBS Sunda
 y Morning. Previously\, he was the deputy editor of Transition\, a journal
  of race and culture based at the W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute at H
 arvard University. He lives in New York City with his family.\n\n
