<br>As editor and co-author may I draw your attention to the pre-publication
subscription offer for BLACK EUROPE: two lavishly illustrated books
(volumes 1 and 2) documenting the sounds and images of musicians and
entertainers of African descent who worked in Europe before 1927, from
minstrel shows to ethnological documentation, some of the first records
made anywhere of African-American folk music practices, from the
earliest ragtime to the emerging syncopated popular music styles and
jazz. Among the recordings made by Africans are those taken at the World
Exhibition of 1889, in "Human zoos" or in German prisoner of war camps.
The LP-sized books will be in a sturdy slip case along with 40 (!) CDs
including every recoverable recording from the era, commercial or
academic.<br>
