About the author

Howard W. Odum (1884-1954) was a sociologist, chiefly known in academic circles for his important studies of the South. Others knew him for his collections of black folksongs--The Negro and His Songs (1925) and Negro Workaday Songs (1926) prepared in collaboration with Guy B. Johnson--and for three "novels" based on the life of a black laborer and known collectively as the Black Ulysses Trilogy.

Steven C. Tracy is Professor of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
