Kimberly Mack is assistant professor of African American literature at the University of Toledo.
"...illuminating, thought-provoking, refreshingly broad-minded..."
— Los Angeles Review of Books
"The perspective Mack offers on blues mythology is fresh and
compelling. Fictional Blues is well-researched, engaging, clear,
confident, and important." — Emily J. Lordi, author of Black
Resonance: Iconic Women Singers and African American Literature
"Mack provides a complex mapping of American blues music to
investigate the work it does as a multifaceted cultural trope, from
its inception in the Jim Crow South to its global dissemination in
the twenty-first century. Fictional Blues is certain to make an
impact in African American studies, along with American literary
and cultural studies writ large." — Caroline A. Streeter, author of
Tragic No More: Mixed-Race Women and the Nexus of Sex and Celebrity
