In the late nineteenth century, black
musicians in the lower Mississippi Valley, chafing under the social,
legal, and economic restrictions of Jim Crow, responded with a new
musical form―the blues. In Jim Crow’s Counterculture,
R. A. Lawson offers a cultural history of blues musicians in the
segregation era, explaining how by both accommodating and resisting Jim
Crow life, blues musicians created a counterculture to incubate and
nurture ideas of black individuality and citizenship. These individuals,
Lawson shows, collectively demonstrate the African American struggle
during the early twentieth century.
By uncovering the stories of
artists who expressed much in their music but left little record in
traditional historical sources, Jim Crow’s Counterculture
offers a fresh perspective on the historical experiences of black
Americans and provides a new understanding of the blues: a shared music
that offered a message of personal freedom to repressed citizens.
