Just as American culture has been constructed by people of many
ethnicities, roots music in America is multicultural in nature.
Native American music resonates from Indigenous traditions of the
Great Plains and the American West. Hispanic culture has spawned
Border Music styles such as Conjunto and Tejano, while Cajun and
Zydeco grew from cultural cross-pollination in the American South.
In northern regions, Polish-American musicians popularized Polka,
while Irish-American music holds a rich tradition throughout many
regions in the East. This unique volume presents influential
musical cultures from throughout the multicultural history of
American vernacular song. Series blurb: This series presents five
