Black and white musicians alike, including Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis, scored hit records with young audiences from different racial groups, blending sonic traditions from R\u0026amp;B, country, and pop. This so-called \"desegregation of the charts\" seemed particularly resonant since major civil rights groups were waging major battles for desegregation in public places at the same time. And yet the centering of integration, as well as the supposition that democratic rights largely based in consumerism should be available to everyone regardless of race, has resulted in very distinct responses to both music and movement among Black and white listeners who grew up during this period. This book traces these distinctions using archival research, musical performances, and original oral histories to determine the uncertain legacies of the civil rights movement and early rock and roll music in a supposedly post-civil rights era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: “A Subtle Defiance in the Songs”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: “Shufflin’ ‘Til the Break of Dawn,” 1946-1953\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: “If It’s a Hit, It’s a Hit,” 1954-1956\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: “A Teen Ager in Love,” 1957-1960\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: “They’d All Be Dancing Together,” 1961-1964\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five, “A Drummer With a Totally Different Beat,” The Post-Civil Rights Era\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042632466775,"sku":"9781793613851","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793613851.jpg?v=1750954935","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rock-and-roll-desegregation-movements-and-racism-in-the-post-civil-rights-era-an-integrated-effort-9781793613851","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
