<p><strong>2007 Alan Merriam Prize presented by the Society for Ethnomusicology</strong></p> <p><strong>2007 PEN/Beyond Margins Book Award Finalist</strong></p> <p><strong>Explores how the traditions of black music are intertwined in the games black girls grow up with</strong></p> <p>When we think of African American popular music, our first thought is probably not of double-dutch: girls bouncing between two twirling ropes, keeping time to the tick-tat under their toes. But this book argues that the games black girls playーhandclapping songs, cheers, and double-dutch jump ropeーboth reflect and inspire the principles of black popular musicmaking.</p> <p><em>The Games Black Girls Play</em> illustrates how black musical styles are incorporated into the earliest games African American girls learnーhow, in effect, these games contain the DNA of black music. Drawing on interviews, recordings of handclapping games and cheers, and her own observation and memories of gameplaying, Kyra D. Gaunt argues that black girls' games are connected to long traditions of African and African American musicmaking, and that they teach vital musical and social lessons that are carried into adulthood. In this celebration of playground poetry and childhood choreography, she uncovers the surprisingly rich contributions of girls’ play to black popular culture.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
