"The essays gathered here provide evidence of what many of us have long known: Guthrie Ramsey is one of our most important scholars of Black music. As these essays demonstrate, he is deeply grounded in the cultures about which he writes, theoretically sophisticated, and always informed by history. They are the work of a fiercely courageous and insightful scholar, eloquent writer, and original thinker who forged a bold path for those that followed him."--Farah Jasmine Griffin, author of Read Until You Understand: The Profound Wisdom of Black Life and Literature
