Abstract There is a resistance in White America to accept overtly the qualities of Black art, even though some aspects of this art has been absorbed into mainstream White American; therefore, something had to be done to turn Black music into art, cast in a form which German-oriented audiences would understand. This book is an effort to undo this framework of thought, and establish the legitimacy of Black art, particularly in the arenas of education and music.
