Mills argues that Bruno Mars is uniquely positioned to create "new music nostalgia" via musical remixes that borrow from his heritage and build from his musical talent, performative expertise, and hybrid cultural, ethnical, and racial identities. Attending to the ways that Mars is precariously positioned in relation to all the racial and ethnic groups that constitute his known background, Mills argues that Mars employs his artistic agency to advocate for social justice by engaging in the performative politics of blackness. Through his musical entertainment and the everyday practice of joy, Mars models a way of moving throught the world that counters its harsh realities, of reconceptualizing race, and of reimagining the future. 600 10 $a Mars, Bruno, $d 1985- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Mars, Bruno, $d 1985- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01915179 650 0 $a Popular music $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Music and race $z United States. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $x Race identity $z United States. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people in popular culture. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 $a Music and race. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030486 650 7 $a Popular music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071422 650 7 $a Racially mixed people in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904407 650 7 $a Racially mixed people $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086601 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781793619839 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015556.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=430C41EE0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
