Lewis, author of A Power Stronger Than Itself: The AACM and American Experimental Music "Blacksound is a profound original study of the foundations of Black performance in the Americas. It is at once ethnomusicology, cultural history, and critical race theory, built on rigorous archival research and sophisticated engagement with a vast body of scholarly research. An engrossing and expansive text, Blacksound will be an indispensable addition to the study of race and African American culture."--Imani Perry, author of South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation
