10/27/2009 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
|
Part of the IHC’s “Oil and Water” series and co-sponsored by the ACGCC.
Writer, scholar, and musician Ned Sublette is one of the most provocative cultural historians working today. His recent books on New Orleans—The World that Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square (2008) and the just-published The Year Before the Flood:
A Story of New Orleans—have garnered praise as important perspectives on a city still reeling from natural-and-politically caused devastation. Sublette has lectured widely on New Orleans, popular music, and Cuban music (the subject of his 2004 volume Cuba and Its
Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo). He is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship (2005) among other honors. In addition to his work as a writer and lecturer, Sublette is also an active guitarist, songwriter, and radio-documentary producer. |
