Reviews:

• ...a reference work of this scope should be considered for what it does offer, and the range is substantial. ...it is a survey of the lives of Black men and women who have contributed to any aspect of cultural history. ... The stimulus this handsomely produced volume will provide to research and teaching may well surpass that offered by Dr. Southern's earlier studies. This major accomplishment belongs in the libraries of all individuals and institutions interested in any aspect of American music.
