Features: Music History – United States. This book is unprecedented in both the "breadth" of its introduction to the history of American music and the "depth" of its exploration of the structural development of American music over several centuries. It is worth noting: The author is a "returnee" who studied in the United States for over a decade, dedicated to in-depth research, earning a Ph.D. in "Musicology – Ethnomusicology" from Kent State University; he conducted extensive "field research" among all strata of American society,firsthand materials, and finally, after "ten years of sharpening a sword," wrote this monumental work. The book has been praised by renowned American scholar Professor Barbara Smith and famous Chinese scholars Professor Qian Renkang and Professor Cai Liangyu. This book can be considered a "musical Bible" that contemporary readers must read to understand American music and the trends of global music development.
