In Reinventing Dixie, John Bush Jones explores the broad impact of these songs in creating and disseminating the imaginary view of the South as a land of southern belles, gallant gentlemen, and racial harmony. In profiles of Tin Pan Alley's lyricists and composers, Jones explains how a group of undereducated and untraveled writers--the vast majority of whom were urban northerners or European immigrants--constructed the specific and detailed images of the South used in their song lyrics. In the process of evaluating the origins of Tin Pan Alley's songbook, Jones analyzes these songwriters' attitudes about North-South reconciliation, ideals of honor and hospitality, and the recurring theme of the yearning for home. Though a few of the songs employed parody or satire to undercut the vision of a peaceful, romantic South, the majority ignored the realities of racism and poverty in the region. 650 0 $a Popular music $z Southern States $x History and criticism $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Popular music $z New York $z New York $x History and criticism $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Southern States $x History and criticism. $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213011438.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826110800.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20160506011001.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331012110.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150702021049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6CB4F3A08EC11E5A7E811F2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
