Book Synopsis

Examines the role of British narratives of masculinity and power in the postwar era of decolonization and national decline that contributed to the creation of a network of Bristish musicians influenced by African-American blues music, and how its members used the tropes, vocabulary, and mythology of African-American blues traditions to forge their own musical identities.
