Lawson offers a cultural history of blues musicians in the segregation era, explaining how by both accommodating and resisting Jim Crow life, blues musicians created a counterculture to incubate and nurture ideas of black individuality and citizenship. These individuals, Lawson shows, collectively demonstrate the African American struggle during the early twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy uncovering the stories of artists who expressed much in their music but left little record in traditional historical sources, \u003ci\u003eJim Crow's Counterculture\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh perspective on the historical experiences of black Americans and provides a new understanding of the blues: a shared music that offered a message of personal freedom to repressed citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R. a.
