Aprašymas
'Queer Blues: The Hidden Figures of Early Blues Music' charts the hidden history of some of blues music's most fascinating and celebrated performers. Award-winning author Darryl Bullock looks at the lives of Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith among others and investigates how their queer identities helped shape their music and the cultural discourse around them. The only book of its kind, 'Queer Blues' is a timely, and incredibly important sociological study of a vital 20th century folk form, and the way it interlinks with sexual identity, gender norms, and progressive values.
