Soul, Country, and the USA: Race and Identity in American Music Culture

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 mar 2015

Soul music and country music propel American popular culture.

Recenzii

"Soul, Country, and the USA introduces a new framework for a comparative study of these distinct, yet related musical genres. Stephanie Shonekan, a Nigerian immigrant, interprets their meaning within the context of race and identity and through the lens of democracy as defined in the American Pledge of Allegiance. This study adds an African Diasporic dimension to the literature on soul and country music." - Portia K. Maultsby, co-editor of African American Music: An Introduction, 2nd ed.
