Deep River

"While many scholars have attempted histories of the early years of jazz--and even more have examined Du Bois's appeals to the musical in his social and cultural criticism--few have attempted the kind of sustained examination of the critical debates about black music that Anderson does. "Deep River "places these long-standing debates in a crucial new context."--Aldon L. Nielsen, author of "Black Chant: Languages of African American Postmodernism"
