From Penderyn Music Book Prize winner Stuart Cosgrove, Hey, America! is the story of how black music came from the margins of American life in the early twentieth century through to the mainstream under Barack Obama’s presidency and then was mobilised as a force for radical opposition to Donald Trump’s presidency. Cosgrove explores the triumph of black music through the decades over the many forces that had held it back – racism, segregation, undercapitalised record labels, media discrimination and political anxiety.
