2“Outside of a dog a book is man’s best friend. Inside a dog it’s too dark to read.” -Groucho Marx
Synopsis
Relating the blues to American social and literary history and to Afro-American expressive culture, Houston A. Baker, Jr., offers the basis for a broader study of American culture at its |vernacular| level. He shows how the |blues voice| and its economic undertones are both central to the American narrative and characteristic of the Afro-American way of telling it.
