This study of typical Afro-American songs in the South is a foundation
study of great importance both to the specialist and to the general
reader. With scholarly investigation is combined intelligent sympathy
and a rare understanding of the black in his various aspects. The book
discusses the religious songs, the social songs, and the work songs of
the Afro-American. Originally published in 1925.
