Lydia Hamessley ’ s Unlikely Angel: The Songs of Dolly Parton is the first book-length study of Dolly Parton ’ s self-composed music, offering a nuanced musicological and historical account of how Parton ’ s songwriting techniques developed and contributed to her illustrious career. If any per-former has dazzled a diverse audience for over a half a century with her far-reaching music, it has been Parton. Yet at times, her bigger than life campy performance persona, built from the exaggerated tropes of sexuality and gender intersecting with regional and social class symbols, has over-shadowed her visibility as a prolific songwriter. Parton has proclaimed in countless interviews that there is more to her than her exterior embodiment of a poor white Appalachian girl ’ s idea of glam. Underneath this well-constructed “ cartoon ”— a word that Parton has used to describe her hyperfe-minine and hypersexual persona — lie her talents as a singer – songwriter (85). Unlikely Angel is thus a response to Parton ’ s primary understanding of her long-lasting career in country music. Hamessley, a self-described Dolly fan, interweaves her analytical narration of the artist ’ s songs and strategic career choices with Parton ’ s own voice (found in personal and published interviews), while taking the reader into the rarefied interiority of Parton ’ s creative compositional processes. The author per-spicaciously connects Parton ’ s songwriting approaches to her musical sensibility, shaped by growing up in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, support for her LGBTQ+ audience, activism against poverty, and quest for commercial acclaim and artistic autonomy in a misogynistic country music industry and its youth-oriented music market. Unlikely Angel is an ambitious and unique book due to the many ways Hamessley re-contextualizes the various aspects of Parton ’ s persona and career in relation to her songwriting. The book begins its

Abstract During World War II, Japanese nationals and U.S. residents Shigezo Iwata and Masaru Ben Akahori were arrested and interned while their wives and children were incarcerated separately. Though wartime correspondence sent from Mr. Akahori to his wife and daughter and from Mrs. Iwata to her husband clearly identifies the United States as “home,” the primary emphasis on home is as a marker of familial reunification. This article posits that the memories and sounds imaginatively recollected and conveyed within the correspondence sent from Sonoko Iwata to her husband, Shigezo, and from Masaru Ben Akahori to his wife, Kiku, and their daughter, served to signify and nurture an ongoing sense of belonging to and togetherness with their respective family members with whom they hoped to once again be home, together.

Abstract Religious music served a political function in the southern United States during the antebellum period. This article examines catechisms and hymnbooks used by white evangelical missionaries and slaveowners in the antebellum South, arguing that the planter elite deployed hymns as a medium to assert white supremacy. The term sonic domination identifies processes whereby sound functioned as a social tool to maintain discipline and order among the enslaved population. Black and white people sang hymns in church, at interracial revivals, and during civic services; they were also heard on bells and cited in poetry. English texts and tunes included in slave catechisms and white portrayals of Black singing highlight the role of evangelical hymns in maintaining plantation order in the Old South. At the same time, enslaved Black Christians found creative ways to circumvent the oppressive power of the white elite through song. African Americans employed English hymns in their own religious rituals and used them to convey hidden meanings on the plantation. Both genres, which interacted and ultimately influenced each other, contributed to an eventual codification of American evangelical hymnody.
