The World That Made New Orleans

The information in this book is both good and well-written. It is, however, rather disjointed in its presentation. I'm still not sure if this is a book about music or slave history (the title didn't really make me think of either, although both are obviously connected to each other and New Orleans history in general). At any rate, it makes me want to read more about the topics and time period, so I suppose that's a good thing.
