In the late nineteenth century, black musicians in the lower Mississippi Valley began to create a new musical form that lamented Jim Crow's social, legal and economic restrictions--the blues. In Jim Crow's Counterculture, R.A. 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 early twentieth century
