Book Music Is History by Questlove

Music Is History is a history of the past half century and an intimate conversation with one of music's most influential and original voices. It's a unique look at contemporary America.

Focusing on the years 1971 to the present, Questlove finds the hidden connections in American tapes, whether exploring how the blaxploitation era reshaped black identity or how disco approached black genius on the assembly line. And these critical examinations are complemented by his own memories as a music lover and the way his hunger for pop culture taught him about America.
