EMERGING PERSPECTIVE ON NURUDDIN FARAH Scribner and conspicuous consumption is unraveling

and conspicuous consumption is unraveling before our eyes

Through meticulous transcriptions of all the extant lyrics of Rainey and Smith--published here in their entirety for the first time--Davis demonstrates how the roots of the blues extend beyond a musical tradition to serve as a conciousness-raising vehicle for American social memory

and examines their critical role in the dynamic interplay between African states and societies
