This first volume of Music in Black American Life collects research
and analysis that originally appeared in the journals American
Music and the Black Music Research Journal, and in the University
of Illinois Press's acclaimed book series Music in American Life.
In these selections, experts from a cross-section of disciplines
engage with fundamental issues in ways that changed our perceptions
of Black music. The topics includes the culturally and musically
complex Black music-making of colonial America; string bands and
other lesser-known genres practiced by Black artists; the jubilee
industry and its audiences; and innovators in jazz, blues, and
Black gospel. Eclectic and essential, Music in Black American Life,
1600-1945 offers specialists and students alike a gateway to the
history and impact of Black music in the United States.

This second volume of Music in Black American Life offers research
and analysis that originally appeared in the journals American
Music and Black Music Research Journal, and in two book series
published by the University of Illinois Press: Music in American
Life, and African American Music in Global Perspective. In this
collection, a group of predominately Black scholars explores a
variety of topics with works that pioneered new methodologies and
modes of inquiry for hearing and studying Black music. These
extracts and articles examine the World War II jazz scene; look at
female artists like gospel star Shirley Caesar and jazz
musician-arranger Melba Liston; illuminate the South Bronx milieu
that folded many forms of black expressive culture into rap; and
explain Hamilton's massive success as part of the "tanning" of
American culture that began when Black music entered the
mainstream. Part sourcebook and part survey of historic music
scholarship, Music in Black American Life, 1945-2020 collects
groundbreaking work that redefines our view of Black music and its
place in American music history. Contributors: Nelson George, Wayne
Everett Goins, Claudrena N. Harold, Eileen M. Hayes, Loren
Kajikawa, Robin D. G. Kelley, Tammy L. Kernodle, Cheryl L. Keyes,
Gwendolyn Pough, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Mark Tucker, and Sherrie
