A great historical account of forgotten American History,
By A Customer
This review is from: Slave Songs of The United States (Paperback)
This book gives great insight in to the true meaning of African American slaves songs. This book also discusses the origin and uses of the songs and provides footnotes for most of the colloquials and variations in dialect for each song.
