Swingin' the Dream: Big Band Jazz and the Rebirth of American Culture
Lewis A. Erenberg
Long before organized baseball or the armed forces experienced racial integration, the big band jazz and swing culture of the depression years was breaking down barriers. This book explores the fan culture and how the music served as a bridge between white American identity and a national culture.
