At the same time, Native singers, dancers, and musicians created new opportunities through musical performance to resist and manipulate those same policy initiatives. John W. Troutman explores the politics of music at the turn of the twentieth century in three spheres: reservations, off-reservation boarding schools, and public venues such as concert halls and Chautauqua circuits. --from publisher description}, recid = {339896}, pages = {xvi, 323 p. :}, address = {Norman :}, year = {2009}, }
