Life Flows On In Endless Song
Explores American folk songs as a frame for the American experience. Crafting a thematic map of four centuries of American history, this book investigates how songs embody shifting attitudes toward the institution of the family, war and religion, work and the labor movement, transportation in America, and slavery and Jim Crow.
