Depression Folk: Grassroots Music and Left-Wing Politics in 1930s America
The role of folk music, broadly defined, during the trying years of the Great Depression in the United States, 1929–40, with a particular focus on the role of left-wing political groups and individuals. The government promoted a labor and cultural renaissance through the “alphabet stew” of federal programs, employing Charles Seeger, John and Alan Lomax, and numerous others in collecting folk music. Performers such as Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Pe…
Charles L. Hughes. Country Soul: Making Music and Making Race in the American South
Race discrimination has long plagued the American South (along with the rest of the country), stretching from the colonial period into the present. Racial conditions have continually changed, however, depending on regional as well as national political, economic, social, and cultural conditions. Popular music’s circumstances have been part of the story, with an ongoing belief that beginning in the 1950s with the rise of the soul and country music…

Bill Malone, Alan Lomax, and the Origins of Country Music
Bill Malone has rightly been known as the dean of country music historians, beginning with the publication of Country Music U.S.A. in 1968. Malone has continually argued that country music had its beginnings in the South and has long remained basically a regional musical style. It is not clear, however, if this should be assumed, since vernacular music, perhaps a better term, has always existed nationwide. This essay makes the argument that studi…

An Attempt to Replicate the Teacher Expectancy Effect
Rosenthal suggests teachers' expectancies can influence pupil behavior as measured by gain in IQ. Following his design, 19% of 796 Ss in 36 classes at 3 elementary schools were identified to their teachers as showing exceptional potential for intellectual gain, when in fact their names had been randomly selected. After one semester no trends could be drawn from analyses of grade level, sex, and minority group membership; nor was the “expectancy a…
