Reseña del libro "Blacks in the Arts: Music, Art, and Theater-Selective Readings"
Blacks in the Arts: Music, Art, and Theater - Selective Readings is designed to provide students with general knowledge and a greater understanding of the contributions of African American artists and the interrelationship of their achievements with the world of art and culture. The anthology begins with readings that discuss slavery as a contextual basis for the development of Black art throughout time; the Negro spiritual as the first truly American art form; Blacks and classical music; and the history of gospel music. Additional selections examine colorism and Black racial pride, the Harlem Renaissance, the Chicago Renaissance, and the history and evolution of the blues. Closing units cover the origins of jazz music and the evolution and development of Blacks in the theater. Throughout, editor introductions for each reading provide students with invaluable context and insight into key topics and concepts. Blacks in the Arts is an enlightening and engaging resource for courses in the fine arts, the history of the arts, and Black studies.
