Classic book by the first African American musicologist

Item Details

Description

Heading: (African American, 1936)
Author: Cuney-Hare, Maud
Title: Negro Musicians and Their Music
Place Published: Washington, DC
Publisher:Associate Publishers
Date Published: 1936
Description:

439 pp. Illustrated. Original blue cloth binding. First Edition.

The first serious, detailed study of African and African-American contributions to world music, by the leading Black musicologist of the early 20th century. This book reflects the author’s passionate interest in the origins, harmony and rhythm of Black folk music dating back to slavery days – and her slight disdain for modern Ragtime and Jazz.

Cuney-Hare was the daughter of the Black political boss of Texas in Jim Crow days. She was a civil rights pioneer, being Music editor of the NAACP “Crisis” periodical for her friend W. E. B. Du Bois, to whom she had once been briefly engaged.

Condition

Light wear and soil to covers; bit shaken; ownership marks; very good.
