As one of the first African American vocalists to be recorded, Bessie Smith is a prominent figure in American popular culture and African American history. Michelle R. Scott uses Smith's life as a lens to investigate broad issues in history, including industrialization, Southern rural to urban migration, black community development in the post-emancipation era, and black working-class gender conventions.
Arguing that the rise of blues culture and the success of female blues artists like Bessie Smith are connected to the rapid migration and industrialization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Scott focuses her analysis on Chattanooga, Tennessee, the large industrial and transportation center where Smith was born. This study explores how the expansion of the Southern railroads and the development of iron foundries, steel mills, and sawmills created vast employment opportunities in the postbellum era. Chronicling the growth and development of the African American Chattanooga community, Scott examines the Smith family's migration to Chattanooga and the popular music of black Chattanooga during the first decade of the twentieth century, and culminates by delving into Smith's early years on the vaudeville circuit.

Описание: Black vaudevillians and entertainers joked that T.O.B.A. stood for “tough on black artists.” But the Theater Owner’s Booking Association (T.O.B.A.) played a foundational role in the African American entertainment industry and provided a training ground for icons like Cab Calloway, Bessie Smith, Ethel Waters, Sammy Davis Jr., the Nicholas Brothers, Count Basie, and Butterbeans and Susie.
Michelle R. Scott’s institutional history details T.O.B.A.’s origins and practices while telling the little-known stories of the managers, producers, performers, and audience members involved in the circuit. Looking at the organization over its eleven-year existence (1920–1931), Scott places T.O.B.A. against the backdrop of what entrepreneurship and business development meant in black America at the time. Scott also highlights how intellectuals debated the social, economic, and political significance of black entertainment from the early 1900s through T.O.B.A.’s decline during the Great Depression.
Clear-eyed and comprehensive, T.O.B.A. Time is a fascinating account of black entertainment and black business during a formative era.

Описание:
Imagine having to create a book with no author-relying on chance and nature to arrange the letters to write a sentence and then organize the tens of thousands sentences into a book. The idea seems ridiculous-and yet that is exactly what evolution asks us to believe.
In Evolution Disproven, author Michelle Scott draws out the comparison between writing a book and creating life using scientifically based arguments. She proposes that using Darwinian evolution to explain the diversity of life is like creating a library filled with books all created by nature. Evolution is the book of life written without an author, but the creation of life is exponentially more complex than that of a book-so much so that all available scientific intelligence combined with supercomputers have never been able to create life from nonlife. Even so, evolutionary theory tells us intelligence isn't necessary and that nature created life.
This study examines the extreme mental gymnastics scientists engage in to support their evolutionary theory, one that has become a religion to many in the scientific community. But creation more than adequately reveals God's power and divinity, and there is no excuse for unbelief. Creation makes God plain to those who would open their eyes.
