John Henry
Author: Roark Bradford
Publisher: OUP USA
ISBN: 0195371046
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
The legendary folk-hero John Henry, in addition to being the subject of one of the most popular songs in American history (both a ballad and a hammer song, it was among the first songs considered "the blues" and was one of the first recorded "country" songs), was also, early in the century, the subject of an award-winning novel and a dramatic rendition, which was staged on Broadway and starred Paul Robeson. This little remembered chapter in the life of an American icon has been resurrected in this critical edition compiled by Steven C. Tracy. In it, Roark Bradford's novel and play about John Henry are reprinted in their entirety and supplemented by a discography of recordings, a chronology, and a comprehensive introduction that explores Bradford's life and work, critical responses to the novel and play, and a survey of John Henry's pervasive influence in folk, literary, and popular culture.

Ol' Man Adam
Author: Ruth Finnegan
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1291855971
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
A wonderful retelling of and new insight ino the familiar biblical tales in wonderfully rich and telling language (a delight in itself), written by the nineteenth-century American author Roark Bradford. For a while devalued due to its supposedly demeaning and patronising use of 'blackie' speech, it is now recognised as a serious contribution to American literature. As later adapted by Marc Connelly it forms the original text for the successful ( but in some views less robust) play Green Pastures.

Hollywood Be Thy Name
Author: Judith Weisenfeld
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520940660
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
From the earliest years of sound film in America, Hollywood studios and independent producers of "race films" for black audiences created stories featuring African American religious practices. In the first book to examine how the movies constructed images of African American religion, Judith Weisenfeld explores these cinematic representations and how they reflected and contributed to complicated discourses about race, the social and moral requirements of American citizenship, and the very nature of American identity. Drawing on such textual sources as studio production files, censorship records, and discussions and debates about religion and film in the black press, as well as providing close readings of films, this richly illustrated and meticulously researched book brings religious studies and film history together in innovative ways.
