Title: The Black back-ups
Description: "This long-anticipated first collection captures the faces, voices, feelings, words, and stories of the author's African American family, people in the neighborhood of the Northern Black town where she grew up. Kate Rushin uses the image of African Americans who sing back-up vocals for white entertainers as a metaphor for those relegated to the shadows."--BOOK JACKET.
