Blind Tom, the Black Pianist-composer (1849-1908): Continually Enslaved

Front Cover
Scarecrow, 1999 - Biography & Autobiography - 214 pages
The story of Blind Tom is emblematic of American music and the color line in America. Continuing her scholarly work in this third volume of her series, Southall addresses questions about the talents of black performers and musicians, the relationship between black culture and economic prosperity, and the personal ability of a talented black musician to weather the dual stigmatization of racism and physical disability to produce music not just worthy of remembrance but also of importance to the tradition of American arts from which he was excluded.
