The Hungarian-born Gellert (1898-1979) amassed a remarkable collection of recordings of African American folk music between the World Wars. The songs he collected were adopted by the American Left, and his collection came under criticism. This is a thorough study of his life and work. With an introduction, bibliography and index.
