Description of Listening to the Lomax Archive
In 1933, John A. Lomax and his son Alan set out as emissaries for the Library of Congress to record the folksong of the ""American Negro"" in several southern African-American prisons. This volume asks how the Lomaxes' field recordings contributed to a new mythology of Americana for a nation in the midst of financial, social, and identity crises.
