Review
“This bibliography will be enormously helpful to librarians and to researchers in the relatively untilled field of black music. Studied from many diverse viewpoints, but with little coordination of effort, black music studies are enhanced by de Lerma's comprehensive, worldwide coverage of the reference materials now available. It is a systematic, easy-to-use bibliography that promises to become the standard reference tool for its subject. . . De Lerma has made a significant contribution to black music studies with his bibliography; it is easy to predict that it will be an essential addition to music libraries, both public and academic, not to mention the private libraries of scholars interested in American music and the immense role black musicians played in it.”–American Music
