AUTHOR
SUMMARY
The time is 1927. The place is a run-down recording studio in Chicago. Ma Rainey, the legendary blues singer, is due to arrive with her entourage to cut new sides of old favorites. Waiting for her are her black musician sidemen, the white owner of the record company, and her white manager. What goes down in the session to come is more than music. It is a riveting portrayal of black rage . . . of racism, of the self-hate that racism breeds, and of racial exploitation . . .Wilson, August is the author of 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom A Play in Two Acts', published 1985 under ISBN 9780452261136 and ISBN 0452261139.
