Product Information
The long journey of an American song, passed down from generation to generation, bridging a nation's fraught disconnect between history and warped illusion, revealing the country's ever evolving self. MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME, from its enormous success in the early 1850s, written by a white man, considered the father of American music, about a Black man being sold downriver, performed for decades by white men in blackface, and the song, an anthem of longing and pain, turned upside down and, over time, becoming a celebration of happy plantation life. It is the state song of Kentucky, a song that has inhabited hearts and memories, and in perpetual reprise, stands outside time; sung each May, before every Kentucky Derby, since 1930. Written by Stephen Foster nine years before the Civil War, "My Old Kentucky Home" made its way through the wartime years to its decades-long run as a national minstrel sensation for which it was written; from its reference in the pages of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind to being sung on The Simpsons and Mad Men . Originally called "Poor Uncle Tom, Good-Night!" and inspired by America's most famous abolitionist novel, it was a lament by an enslaved man, sold by his master, who must say goodbye to his beloved family and birthplace, with hints of the brutality to come: "The head must bow and the back will have to bend / Wherever the darky may go / A few more days, and the trouble all will end / In the field where the sugar-canes grow . . ." In My Old Kentucky Home, Emily Bingham explores the long, strange journey of what has come to be seen by some as an American anthem, an integral part of our folklore, culture, customs, foundation, a living symbol of a "happy past." But "My Old Kentucky Home" was never just a song. It was always a song about slavery with the real Kentucky home inhabited by the enslaved and shot through with violence, despair, and degradation. Bingham explores the song's history and permutations from its decades of performances across the continent, entering into the bloodstream of American life, through its twenty-first-century reassessment. It is a song that has been repeated and taught for almost two hundred years, a resonant changing emblem of America's original sin whose blood-drenched shadow hovers and haunts us still.

Reviews
"Emily Bingham has painstakingly created a history quilt out of the intricacies of the profound effects of a single song on American culture. The result is wonder and dismay--and a lesson for today in how propaganda works. The story is compelling because it is about us, all Americans. The song ties us together or divides us in ways that can make you shudder to know your part in it. And yet that seductive melody is there, drawing us along through our complicated history. Bingham doesn't let us escape. We're gripped by the story and enlightened by her telling. She delves into some of the deepest issues America has ever faced, issues that are still unresolved. This book is not simply about lyrics of a song but how that song has been used to tell a lie."--Bobbie Ann Mason, author of In Country and Dear Ann "One song, in Emily Bingham's brilliant hands, brings history and memory together in ways all Americans must confront if we are ever truly to hear one another."--Timothy Tyson, author of the New York Times bestseller The Blood of Emmett Till, "A beautiful book. I was taken aback by how the song and its history, and Foster's own history, are so much a part of our ongoing story. Bingham's writing is compelling, and humbling, and moving."--Rosanne Cash, singer, songwriter, and author "Immersive and well-honed . . . [Bingham] astutely analyzes the song's reinterpretation by Black artists and activists . . . an invigorating and eye-opening cultural history."-- Publishers Weekly "Bingham asks readers to think critically about a song cherished by many and to consider the price of nostalgia . . . Readers familiar with the song will get the most out of this book, as will anyone with a deep interest in the intersections of music and history."-- Library Journal "Emily Bingham has painstakingly created a history quilt out of the intricacies of the profound effects of a single song on American culture.
