Description for Blues, How Do You Do?: Paul Oliver and the Transatlantic Story of the Blues
Paperback. Scholarly arguments about the blues have failed to acknowledge that in the post-war era the blues had spread far beyond the borders of the United States. As Christian O'Connell shows in Blues, How Do You Do? Paul Oliver's largely neglected scholarship - and the unique transatlantic cultural context it provides - is vital to understanding the blues. Num Pages: 296 pages, 39 black & white halftones. BIC Classification: AVGK; AVH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 20. Weight in Grams: 525.
Recent revisionist scholarship has argued that representations by white “outsider” observers of black American music have distorted historical truths about how the blues came to be. While these scholarly arguments have generated an interesting debate concerning how the music has been framed and disseminated, they have so far only told an American story, failing to acknowledge that in the post-war era the blues had spread far beyond the borders of the United States. As Christian O’Connell shows in Blues, How Do You Do? Paul Oliver’s largely neglected scholarship—and the unique transatlantic cultural context it provides—is vital to understanding the blues.
