About This Item
Hardback. New. American slaves drew on memories of African musical traditions to construct instruments from carved-out gourds covered with animal skin. Providing a sense of rootedness, solidarity, and consolation, banjo picking became an essential part of black plantation life, and its unmistakable sound remains versatile and enduring today, Laurent Dubois shows.

Spectacular book. The author handles a difficult, highly complex topic with care and extraordinary insight. I might re-read soon.
