Uma discussão de classe e uma história social do blues no sul dos Estados Unidos

Abstract

This article intends to conduct a study through a dialogue between History, geographical space and music. From the first one, we discussed more specifically the concept of class from the English Marxist historian E. Thompson; the second point, we analyzed some striking features of the geographical area, specifically the southern United States in the early twentieth century, around the Mississippi Delta, and the relationship that this space had with the people who lived in it; finally, we observed the musical style of blues and seek to understand how the cultural experience of workers in the Mississippi Delta region helped shape the style, especially between 1920 and 1940.
