Long a taboo subject among critics, rhythm finally takes center
stage in this book's dazzling, wide-ranging examination of diverse
black cultures across the New World. Martin MunroOCOs
groundbreaking work traces the centralOCoand contestedOCorole of
music in shaping identities, politics, social history, and artistic
expression. Starting with enslaved African musicians, Munro takes
us to Haiti, Trinidad, the French Caribbean, and to the civil
rights era in the United States. Along the way, he highlights such
figures as Toussaint Louverture, Jacques Roumain, Jean Price-Mars,
The Mighty Sparrow, Aim(r) C(r)saire, Edouard Glissant, Joseph
Zobel, Daniel Maximin, James Brown, and Amiri Baraka. Bringing to
light new connections among black cultures, Munro shows how rhythm
has been both a persistent marker of race as well as a dynamic
force for change at virtually every major turning point in black
New World hist
