NEW BOOKS BY JOAN CARTWRIGHT

A HISTORY OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN JAZZ AND BLUES

From the coast of West Africa captured people brought a new music to the shores of North America. That music became blues and then jazz and was the voice of freedom. But the commercialization of this music throughout the twentieth century has not benefited the innovators as much as the imitators, publishers and producers of recordings, concerts and festivals, worldwide.

The three essays in this book examine the cultural politics involved in the production, promotion and critique of African-American Jazz and Blues in America and abroad. It is available at
