Book Synopsis Wake Up Dead Man by : Bruce Jackson

Download or read book Wake Up Dead Man written by Bruce Jackson. This book was released on 1999. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making it in Hell, says Bruce Jackson, is the spirit behind the sixty-five work songs gathered in this eloquent dispatch from a brutal era of prison life in the Deep South. Through engagingly documented song arrangements and profiles of their singers, Jackson shows how such pieces as "Hammer Ring," "Ration Blues," "Yellow Gal," and "Jody's Got My Wife and Gone" are like no other folk music forms: they are distinctly African in heritage, diminished in power and meaning outside their prison context, and used exclusively by black convicts. The songs helped workers through the rigors of cane cutting, logging, and cotton picking. Perhaps most important, they helped resolve the men's hopes and longings and allowed them a subtle outlet for grievances they could never voice when face-to-face with their jailers.

Just like a seed must go deep into the ground for a dark burial to shed it's dead outer shell, you too must allow your outer shell of "living for self" to be buried and die. But oh - it is worth it!

As a result, he makes all sorts of discoveries about himself, his wife Esmeralda, and his supposedly happy family . . .
