Description

Explore the cultural myth of the outlaw through this deep study of American folk performance. In this work, Damian A. Carpenter examines the unsettled territory that exists between the margins and the center of American society. By looking at how the outlaw figure is perceived over time, the book investigates a persona that blends history, folklore, and social identity. Since the late nineteenth century, the outlaw voice has found its strongest expression in folk music. This book traces that tradition, looking at the way performance creates a cultural persona that remains hidden in plain sight. It is an essential read for those interested in how music and myth shape our understanding of social outsiders and the legends that define American culture.
