Innehåll:
Coon songs, big shows, and black stage stars of the Ragtime era -- The spirit of the smart set -- Blues for the sideshow tent -- Under canvas : African American tented minstrelsy and the untold story of Allen's New Orleans Minstrels, the Rabbit's Foot Company, the Florida Blossoms, and Silas Green from New Orleans
Sammanfattning: The explosion in popularity of ragtime music in the early part of the twentieth century opened up previously unthought-of opportunities for black performers. However, these opportunities were stymied by systematic racism at every turn. This volume closely traces the mass popularity of so-called coon songs during the early years of rag, to their eventual transformation into the original blues music listened to and loved by millions around the world
