Stories, Archaeology and Narratives: Miss Black America

The book is an investigation into how music and society interact within Black America, which has continually generated new sonic forms and structures. But how are these forms connected to the context that produced them? Miss Black America seeks to build a bridge between historiography and music criticism.

During the event, marking the centenary of the birth of Miles Davis, some of his jazz compositions will be performed.
