Reviews
"Each of these chapters unearth, explore, and explain ideas, facts, events, phenomena, and records that have been neglected, forgotten, ignored, falsified or were unknown. They invoke musicological contexts that are grounded in archival and ethnographical research that illuminates the evolution of black music-making as it shifts from the insularity of communal spaces to the public medium of popular culture and precipitated the aberration of racial, social, and gender norms."--Tammy L. Kernodle, from the Introduction
