Young, triumphant, and black : overcoming the tyranny of segregated minds in desegregated schools / by Grantham, Tarek C.(CARDINAL)397037; Harmon, Deborah A.(CARDINAL)471109; Trotman Scott, Michelle Frazier.(CARDINAL)613988;
"Many educators struggle to meet the needs of gifted Black students because they know little about their experiences at school and at home. What are the experiences of gifted Black students in desegregated predominantly White schools? How do gifted Black students survive and thrive in de facto segregated Black schools? What barriers faced by gifted Black students from predominantly Black neighborhoods must be torn down? How do culturally responsive parents, teachers, and other educators confront racism and discrimination that impact gifted Black students? Young, Triumphant, and Black: Overcoming the Tyranny of Segregated Minds in Desegregated Schools offers answers to these important questions by sharing the lived experiences of gifted Black students from different backgrounds. Compelling personal narratives and biographical accounts reveal the triumph of gifted Black students as they and their families confront segregated minds in desegregated racially divisive institutions." --

In this groundbreaking book, music historian Tony Russell turns the spotlight on a vast archive of recordings from the 1920s and 1930s and uncovers the hidden stories of how they were recorded, the interventions of record companies that shaped them, the musicians who played them, and the listeners who absorbed them. In seventy-eight essays on selected 78rpm discs that draw on new research, contemporary newspapers, and previously unpublished interviews, readers will meet songs about home and family, love and courtship, crime and punishment, farms and floods, chain gangs and chain stores, journeys and memories-in other words, almost every facet of the human experience. In this way, Rural Rhythm not only charts the tempos and styles of rural and small-town music-making and the development of the country genre but also retraces the larger rhythms of rural life in the American South, Southwest, and Midwest. What emerges is a narrative that ingeniously blends the musical and social history of the era"--
