Swinging the Machine: Modernity, Technology and African American Culture Between the World Wars
Joel Dinerstein
During the interwar period in 20th century America, innovative forms of music and dance helped a newly urbanized population cope with the increased mechanization of modern life. This work argues that it was African American culture that ultimately provided the means of this social adaptation.
