This book explores the sonic elements of gentrification in Washington, DC, with particular attention to the racialized elements of sound. 'Intersectional Listening' engages the sonorities of gentrification, drawing from ethnomusicology, Black Studies, geography, and digital humanities. At its heart, the book is an ethnography about what gentrification sounds like in Washington, DC, specifically how Black people throughout the city are experiencing gentrification as a sonic, racialized process. In telling these stories of music and sound in the nation’s capital, the book attempts to shift conversations about how Black life is listened to: by centering Black feminist listening practices, by thinking through digital modes of listening, and by imagining emancipatory soundscapes. This work prioritizes the significance of sound to Black life and Black knowing and challenges the reader to refute the consistent mishearing of Black people. Taking these provocations as a starting point, 'Intersectional Listening' offers both methodological and theoretical interventions, forming a praxis that is committed to amplifying Black life in DC and beyond. Case studies in the book include the attempted passing of the Amplified Noise Act, a law that threatened to put street musicians in jail for busking in Chinatown; the displacement and institutionalization of go-go music, DC’s local subgenre of funk music; and a soundscape analysis of 7th Street and Florida Avenue, an iconic intersection in DC known for playing go-go music and the home of the 2019 #DontMuteDC movement.
