forth between the terms. one of the things we see from peterson is that country music is music of modernity. it responds to it, grapples with it. i want to frame our discussion around couple of quotations. the first is from a anthropologist aaron fox. they write, country music is widely disparaged in racialized terms and assertions of its badness are quickly flamed in specifically racial terms. for cosmopolitan americans especially, country is bad music because it is widely understood to signify an explicit claim to whiteness, not as an unmarked, neutral condition lacking or trying to shed race, but as a foregrounded claim of cultural identity of bad whiteness unredeemed by ethnicity, folkloric authenticity, progressive politics, or elite musical culture. i want us to think about that. country music as articulating and conveying this type of marked white particularity. the second quote is from roxanne dunbar-ortiz, a writer and historian, in the book red dirt, a memoir of
