Description: "In American Composer Zenobia Powell Perry: Race and Gender in the 20th Century, Jeannie Gayle Pool examines the life of this talented individual as she faced tremendous challenges as a female, African American, and woman of mixed heritage. Based on interviews conducted by the author, as well as Perry's personal papers, correspondence, and scores, Pool provides a rich portrait of this exceptional composer, along with an analysis of her musical style, a chronology, complete list of works, and several appendices. Raising complex and unresolved issues related to American blacks with Native American heritage, Perry's life story bears witness to a century in which tremendous strides were made toward equality for all."--Jacket.
