2001
In Lloyd Whitesell’s 2001 article
“White Noise: Race and Erasure in the Cultural Avant-Garde,” published in American Music (Vol. 19, No. 2, pp. 168–189), Max Neuhausis examined through the lens of critical race theory and the "whiteness" of the mid-century American avant-garde.
Whitesell critiques the ideology of "neutrality" often claimed by experimental artists, including the lineage of John Cage and Max Neuhaus.
