Summary "This book is based on a nine-year study of collegiate a cappella, a socio-musical practice that has exploded on college campuses since the 1990's. Collegiate a cappella is about much more than singing cover songs. It sustains multiple forms of inequality through its practices and performative enactment of gender and heteronormativity. This book sheds light on how undergraduates conceptualize vocation and avocation within the context of formal education, holding implications for educators at all levels"-- Provided by publisher
