Price III, Northeastern University, executive editor of Encyclopedia of African American Music African-American music and its revolutionary potential, whether in the form of slave spirituals or the protest songs of the Civil Rights Movement, is relatively well-trodden ground amongst scholars. Where Robert Darden diverts from, and adds to this historiography, is in highlighting the reach and impact of black musical forms within sections of white American society. . . . Darden presents a compelling study of the impact of African-American music, making excellent use of both the rich historiography, and the various black musical genres. </p>--Thomas Strange, <em>Journal of Ecclesiastical History</em></p> Author InformationRobert Darden is Professor of Journalism, Public Relations, and New Media at Baylor University.
