Core Questions

This chapter juxtaposes Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of enumerating Indigeneity on record, both on paper and on vinyl, which reveal two projects with very different means for very different ends. The chapter begins with an outline of cacophonous colonial structures and paradigms of containment and measurement that continue to vex notions of “audible Indigeneity,” which informs notions of who does or does not “count” as Indigenous. Whereas much of an early twentieth-century ethno/musicological archive was driven by a colonial savior logic known as “salvage ethnography,” an examination of Cupiit-led and Yupiit-centered archives reveal significantly more expansive performances of mid-century Indigeneity. This examination of family- and community-based gospel, country, and folk music archives—featuring recordings by the Shavings Family Band, John Angaiak, and Joe Paul—argues for a densification of deeply embedded archival logics, methods, and theories that currently inform the enumerative conventions of American music historiography. Put another way, this chapter’s core questions include “who is counting (and using what logics)?” and “who decides who counts (as Indigenous)?”

Irish Revolution

This chapter outlines the key themes and concepts that will be at stake in the book. The Irish Revolution (c. 1913–23) has been the subject of a vast and growing historiography. Ambushes and assassinations by IRA guerrillas and reprisals and counter-reprisals by Crown forces have dominated much of the discourse. More recently, the ‘everyday’ acts of violence that characterised so much revolutionary activity in Ireland have found a place in the literature. This book adds to that understanding of experiences at the grass-roots level. In this chapter, some key parameters for the study are outlined and an ‘anatomy of violence’ is developed, ranging from the impersonal threat to the physical attack on the person, to frame and contextualize the nature of the activity under observation. This chapter also explores some precedents for violence and civilian behaviour in revolutionary Ireland found during nineteenth and early twentieth century agrarian agitation.
