The Rise of Gospel Blues: The Music of Thomas Andrew Dorsey in the Urban Church
Harris, Michael W. (Associate Professor of History and African-American World Studies, Associate Professor of History and African-American World Studies, University of Iowa)
A well researched account of gospel blues that encompasses the broader cultural and religious histories of the African-American experience between the late 1890s and the 1930s. Harris skilfully contextualizes sacred and secular music styles within African-American religious history and significant social developments of the period.
