Sonic Warfare: Sound, Affect, and the Ecology of Fear | 
Hi, Littens! I just picked up this book. I live in a poor Black neighborhood here in Albany, New York. This neighborhood has the highest crime rate in the city, but I have come to love it here, and I have come to love its people. But I've noticed the subtle warfare that exists between the gangs that blast their rap and Hip-Hop tunes from their cars. I do believe it's a form of warfare among the people here. That's why I picked up this book.
Reggie This book sounds interesting. A couple of years ago, a couple of US diplomats had to leave Cuba because there was a sound produced in the hotel rooms they were staying in that caused them chronic headaches. Hmmm. Thanks for posting. 5y
hhavel It's true. In NYC, they used loud sounds to disperse crowds protesting the Republican National Convention for George W. Bush's election. When I was in Prague, in a youth hostel, they used loud buzzers to discourage the kids from loitering in certain hallways. This book should be an interesting one by a guy who teaches in London. It is used here in my neighborhood. If one listens to the lyrics and where they are placed, one can hear it. Thanks! 5y
