The answer was obvious: There was no feminist analysis of the women of the scene. \u003ci\u003eAir Split Open\u003c\/i\u003e takes the first step to correct this glaring absence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeploying her background in cultural history, gender, sexuality, and performance studies, Mahmassani tracks the interwoven careers of Odetta and Joan Baez, creating a new story of the folk revival that is at once incisive and entertaining, while also grappling with broader questions of the way male-centered historical narratives take shape in the context of American popular culture. A feminist take on the music scene that defined an era, \u003ci\u003eAir Split Open\u003c\/i\u003e is fueled by deep respect for the American folk tradition and all those, known and unknown, who have carried it forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Addie Mahmassani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1685970915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685970918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Addie Mahmassani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588512624895,"sku":"9781685970918","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/air-split-open-addie-mahmassani-9781685970918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
