Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of the Society for American Music publishes scholarship on diverse aspects of American music. Recent articles explore the history and definition of musical minimalism, the genre and identity in country music, and the careers of American music educators like William Levi Dawson. It also examines the recording practices and racial dynamics of early 20th-century popular music, particularly for Black musicians like Fats Waller. Further research investigates gender discrimination in jazz, the work of jazz critic Leonard Feather, and the compositional approaches of Afro-British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor in relation to African American spirituals.
