From the rear cover

Long Black Song ought to be read by those who are interested in the black experience and to be pondered over by those who wish really to know the American experience. Mr. Baker's restatement of the roles of religion and education in black American life is emphatic, but explanation of the significance of the oral tradition in black culture, from slavery to the ghetto, from the field-hand to contemporary blacks, is dramatic and will come as an eye-opener to many readers.
