Guide van Rijn presents a fascinating and exhaustive account of the
gospel and blues music of the immediate postwar period, shedding
much light on the civil rights situation of the time and the
experience of segregation as well as events such as the Atom Bomb,
the Cold War, Korea and of course the Republican victory in 1956.
He concentrates on songs that comment on contemporary political
events and issues during this crucial time in the shaping of black
consciousness in America. In doing so, he uncovers a hidden black
history on the eve of the emergence of the civil rights movement--a
deep insight into the lives and opinions of people who had few
other outlets of expression. Also available, from the author's own
website, is a CD containing recordings of the songs discussed in
the text, such as Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb, I'm a Democrat
Man, and The Alabama Bus.
