Houston Bound draws on social and cultural history to show how, despite Anglo attempts to fix racial categories through Jim Crow laws, converging migrations-particularly those of Mexicans and Creoles-complicated ideas of blackness and whiteness and introduced different understandings about race. This migration history also uses music and sound to examine these racial complexities, tracing the emergence of Houston's blues and jazz scenes in the 1920's as well as the hybrid forms of these genres that arose when migrants forged shared social space and carved out new communities and politics. This interdisciplinary book provides both an innovative historiography about migration and immigration in the twentieth century and a critical examination of a city located in the former Confederacy.American crossroads ;41.MinoritiesTexasHoustonSocial conditions20th centuryMusicSocial aspectsTexasHoustonHistory20th centuryHouston (Tex.)Emigration and immigrationHistory20th centuryHouston (Tex.)Ethnic relationsHistory20th centuryHouston (Tex.)History20th century20th century american culture.20th century american history.african americans.american studies.blackness and whiteness.blues.city life.civic.creole americans.crowded cities.cultural history.democracy.first world war.great migration.history.houston.immigration.jazz.jim crow laws.jim crow.mexican americans.migrants.migration history.migration.music.race as a social construct.racial categories.racism and prejudice.racism in america.social history.united states of america.urban areas.MinoritiesSocial conditionsMusicSocial aspectsHistory305.8009764/2350904Steptoe Tyina L.1975-1676929MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807344003321Houston bound4043417UNINA
