Review

"Campbell's writing is colorful and light on jargon. . . . Stunningly thorough and quite entertaining. . . . Being easy to read and not very long, it would make a nice entry in course syllabi. Other scholars studying how the tensions that Campbell explores for Atlanta were worked out elsewhere will find this book to be a ready partner."
—Journal of American Folklore

"Well researched and well written."
— Georiga Library Quarterly

"A fresh perspective to a familiar subject. . . . Eloquently written."
-- Georgia Historical Quarterly

"A lively and astute exploration of how southerners coped with fundamental tensions and how even their musical 'diversions' were fraught with meaning."
-- Journal of Southern History

This is an inspired and original work, bringing together three forms of music--opera, African American concert singing, and old-time fiddling--as a way to study conflicts and desires to smooth over those conflicts in the quintessential New South city of Atlanta. (Ted Ownby, University of Mississippi author of American Dreams in Mississippi: Consumers, Poverty, and Culture, 1830-1998)

Campbell focuses on three popular musical institutions in Atlanta at the height of the Jim Crow era: the annual visit of the Metropolitan Opera, the Colored Music Festival, and the Georgia Old Time Fiddlers' Convention, demonstrating how music addressed Atlantans' class anxieties and affirmed the segregationist impulse.
