Race, Rock, and Elvis
ISBN: 9780252072703 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Race, Rock, and Elvis, Michael T.

Observing that youthful fans of rhythm and blues, rock 'n' roll, and other black-inspired music seemed more inclined than their segregationist elders to ignore the color line, Bertrand links popular music with a more general relaxation, led by white youths, of the historical denigration of blacks in the South. The tradition of southern racism, successfully communicated to previous generations, failed for the first...
