Sasha Geffen – Glitter Up the Dark: How Pop Music Broke the Binary – Paperback

Why has music so often served as an accomplice to transcendent expressions of gender? For Sasha Geffen, the answers lie, in part, in music’s intrinsic quality of subliminal expression, which, through paradox and contradiction, allows rigid gender roles to fall away in a sensual and ambiguous exchange between performer and listener. Glitter Up the Dark traces the history of this gender fluidity in pop music from the early twentieth century to the present day.
