American Popular Music

This series seeks concise, well-written, classroom-friendly books that will be useful to students and teachers and accessible to general readers. Although the series is open to a diverse range of approaches, including interdisciplinary studies, the editors are particularly interested in manuscripts and proposals in the following areas: critical biographies of figures in American popular music; analytical institutional histories; crucial moments in music history; music as it is experienced and appropriated.   Manuscript Submissions Please direct manuscript inquiries to the series editors or to: Brian Halley, Senior Editor UMass Press, Boston Office Provost Office / Quinn Building 100 Morrissey Boulevard Boston, MA 02125-3393 617-287-5610 [email protected] Series Editor Jeffrey Melnick American Studies University of Massachusetts Boston [email protected] Editorial Advisory Board Daphne Brooks Yale University David Garcia University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Nadine Hubbs University of Michigan Travis A.
