Bands were playing, people were dancing, the music business was
booming. It was the big-band era, and swing was giving a new shape
and sound to American culture. Swing Changes looks at New Deal
America through its music and shows us how the contradictions and
tensions within swing-over race, politics, its own cultural status,
the role of women-mirrored those played out in the larger society.
Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, newspapers, magazines,
recordings, photographs, literature, and films, Swing Changes
offers a vibrant picture of American society at a pivotal time, and
a new perspective on music as a cultural force.
