Recenzje

The Mahalia Jackson Reader is a treasure trove of writings about a singer who was a monumental artist of black sacred music and a symbol of hope and strength for the civil rights movement. An amazing anthology that needs to be on the book shelf of anyone who is serious about the study of African American life and culture.
