Wikipedia content is everywhere. When one uses Google—even just to check on the birth year of actress and rapper Awkwafina—a Google Knowledge Graph will likely appear and share core information from Wikipedia on the right side of the search results page. Wikipedia is integrated into our daily lives. From an article on composer Chen Yi to Korean KPop girl group Mamamoo, Wikipedia has a page for them all. But these contemporary popular Asian and Asian American musicians are, perhaps, likely Wikipedia entries. How can educators, researchers, scholars, and historians use this ubiquitous resource to teach and create digital memory for underrepresented groups? Working with the Music of Asian American Research Center (MAARC), I designed a Wikipedia assignment to introduce and expose graduate students at Westminster Choir College to musicological research on Wikipedia. In a class of graduatelevel preprofessional singers, musicians, conductors, and composers, I crafted an assignment that included not only an overview of print and online encyclopedias but also delved into aspects of scholarly research. At the same time, I highlighted problems related to marginalized composers and musical works. By incorporating a Wikipedia assignment focused on Asian American female composers into the course, I could demonstrate the musicological issues of

Until the 1990s, most museums and historic sites in North America avoided “difficult histories.” Instead, they focused on the celebratory, the patriotic, and the artistically significant, narratives that worked to ensure the “comfort” of visitors. Tours of plantations and sites like Colonial Williamsburg talked about architectural details, but not the true experiences of the enslaved. Museums relied on formalist labels that revealed the artifacts’ materials but not their deeper social and cultural impacts. One early notable attempt by a major museum to present a “difficult history” was the proposed 1995 Enola Gay Exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (NASM), which was then led by Martin Harwit. He believed that the museum should take up historic and contemporary controversies, such as debates about the use of atomic bombs. He proposed that the Enola Gay Exhibit marking the fiftieth anniversary of the end of WWII include Japanese perspectives about the dropping of nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and photos of the aftermath. This led the Air Force Association and other veteran groups to complain, and the U.S. Senate unanimously adopted Resolution 257, which called the exhibition’s proposed script “revisionist and offensive to many World War II veterans.”1 This exhibit was ultimately canceled, and Harwit was forced to resign as NASM’s Director. In announcing

past, and class structures, even when the attendees represent a variety of direct experiences with the language or culture. With several vignettes, she shows that music and dance play a role in these assertions of identity. She suggests that a “strongexoticimperialism is at work in conveying Old Russia” in these social events (185). Each vignette takes as its subject the performance of Georgian and socalled “gypsy” musics; costume, status, and the masking of Self; and the kinetic persuasion of dance in social contexts. Such displays interact with Orientalism and notions of the Russian folk to create an enchanted, mythical, and idyllic Russia that is partly built on the older tropes that First Wave Russians had established. Musics and dances of various types connect with this idealism and unite this nowheterogenous community, which contains more diverse Russian American identities than it did a hundred years earlier. Zelensky concludes the text with a brief epilogue that quickly summarizes the book’s main points. She succeeds in arguing that First Wave Russian émigrés created a foundation for Russian American identity and American imaginings of Russianness, while also navigating and incorporating culturalpolitical happenings over the course of the century. Ultimately, Zelensky convincingly asserts that music was an intrinsic part of this continually revised and reconstituted Russian American subcultural identity, and she persuasively provides an equally important history of how First Wave Russian émigrés are an integral part of mainstream American identity formation.
