It is a must read for those interested in culture and history8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A radical presentation of African American musicBy nadav haberI am thankful to Guthrie Ramsey who referred to this book in his book "Race Music"; and made me buy it and read it. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a must for anyone interested in African American music.The book begins with the spiritual-mythological aspects of African life - and their musical expressions. He shows how these aspects were brought to America with the tranplanted and enslaved Africans. Floyd generalizes these as "Ring Elements" - coming from the communal ring dance-song-drum of African culture. These elements are present; according to Floyd; in all African American music; sometimes to a great extent (gospel-blues) and sometimes to a lesser extent (composed music). Floyd moves along key points in African American history; and discusses their musical dimensions - the Harlem Renaissance; the Chicago Renaissance; and so on.I have read books on music by Amiri Baraka; James Cone; Nelson George; Albert Murray and Charles Kiel before I read this book. They were all great and illuminating; but I think this book takes things to another level. It makes a lot of bold assumptions that could be used for further research; and develops the language needed for the academic discourse on this amazing music.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
