Fictional Blues: Narrative Self-Invention from Bessie Smith to Jack White - African American Intellectual History

Unpacks the figure of the blues performer, moving from early singers such as Ma Rainey and Big Mama Thornton to contemporary musicians such as Amy Winehouse and Jack White to reveal that blues makers have long used their songs, performances, interviews, and writings to invent personas that resist racial, social, economic, and gendered oppression.
