Going Through the Storm The Influence of African American Art in History

This collection of essays by Stuckey brings together his knowledge of the rich interplay of history, anthropology, folklore, musicology, & lit. He traces the fertile legacy of African Amer. art from its roots in tribal myth, through its blossoming in slave music & dance, to its fruition in the gospel-singing movements of the 1960s. Covers the entire spectrum of African Amer. culture, presenting a new look at the foundations of black culture & the civil rights movement within the context of slavery & slave music. Shows how black art has reached across the boundaries of race to touch most of humanity. Explains that because black artists have been deeply interested for so long in the question of oppression, their art is of particular use to historians.Stuckey, Sterling is the author of 'Going Through the Storm The Influence of African American Art in History', published 1994 under ISBN 9780756797829 and ISBN 0756797829.
