American Music: An Introduction, Second Edition is a collection of
seventeen essays surveying major African American musical genres,
both sacred and secular, from slavery to the present. With
contributions by leading scholars in the field, the work brings
together analyses of African American music based on ethnographic
fieldwork, which privileges the voices of the music-makers
themselves, woven into a richly textured mosaic of history and
culture. At the same time, it incorporates musical treatments that
bring clarity to the structural, melodic, and rhythmic
characteristics that both distinguish and unify African American
music. The second edition has been substantially revised and
updated, and includes new essays on African and African American
musical continuities, African-derived instrument construction and
performance practice, techno, and quartet traditions. Musical
transcriptions, photographs, illustrations, and new downloadable
resources bring the music to life.
