In this noir collection, millionaire Wesley Dodds becomes the
Sandman to fight injustice in 1930s New York City, going after
kidnappers, blackmailers and predators who prey on rich socialites.
The year is 1938, and the world is holding its breath-mesmerized by
the onrushing storm that will soon engulf it in fire and steel. In
New York City, one man's sleep is filled with tormenting visions of
the evils that mankind visits upon itself, compelling him to act.
And so, by night, Wesley Dodds lays aside the trappings of his
inherited wealth to roam the shadows as the Sandman, armed with a
tranquilizing gas gun and driven by an unrelenting sense of
justice. Haunted and obsessed, the Sandman moves through a
decadent, post-Depression landscape, stalking the predators who
hide themselves beneath society's callous indifference to the weak
and vulnerable. No one sees him at his work until he chooses to
reveal himself-no one, that is, except the woman who is destined to
be the light to his darkness.
American roots music, also known as Americana music, can be
challenging to categorize, spanning the genres of jazz, bluegrass,
country, blues, rock and roll, and an assortment of variations in
between. In The Downhome Sound, Mandi Bates Bailey explores the
messages, artists, community, and appeal of this seemingly
disparate musical collective. To understand the art form's intended
meanings and typical audiences, she analyzes lyrics and interviews
Americana artists, journalists, and festival organizers to uncover
a desire for inclusion and diversity. Bailey also conducts an
experiment to assess listener reception relative to more commercial
forms of music. The result is an in-depth study of the political
and cultural influence of Americana and its implications for social
justice.
