Benjamin Barson - Brassroots Democracy: Maroon Ecologies and the Jazz Commons

15 October 2024 16:00

In his book Brassroots Democracy Benjamin Barson revises the birth of jazz. He uncovers narratives of New Orleans musicians to reveal how early jazz was inseparably tied to the mass mobilization of freedpeople during Reconstruction after the Civil War (1861–1865), as well as connected to the emancipatory revolution in Haiti several decades before. He presents a music history from below, following the musicians as they built communes, performed at Civil Rights rallies, and participated in general strikes.
