{"product_id":"9781936196784","title":"A Hunger Called Music (A Verse History Of Black Music)","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePoetry. African \u0026amp; African American Studies. Music. Borrowing from such sources as archival recordings and news stories, A HUNGER CALLED MUSIC documents the early history of African-American music beginning with work songs and ending with Motown- era soul. Using each genre's historical context and the music itself as inspiration, the poems in the chapbook take on a range of voices and stories from Robert Johnson to Nina Simone, and from a white 1950s record producer to a witness to police brutality. In doing so, the poems work to unearth the commonalities of experience between previous eras and the current one through the intergenerational constant of music.","brand":"C\u0026R Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050760814832,"sku":"9781936196784","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936196784_p0.jpg?v=1763657991","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936196784","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
