The early Twentieth century : a diverse musical landscape -- Inside and outside the box -- The color of music -- Homegrown and lowdown -- Choosing French Louisiana.
Summary
This text explores the role of music in negotiating difference. It brings to light processes of differentiation and social stereotypes and hierarchies at at work in the evolving French Louisiana musical field.
