DESCRIPTION:For most of the twentieth century, the American Federation of Musicians 
 maintained separate locals for Blacks and whites that operated in 
 overlapping territories. The Black locals arose at the request of Black 
 musicians, who anticipated significant benefits from monoethnic 
 organizations. When the AFM tried to amalgamate dual locals, Blacks 
 resisted, but the Federation opted to force mergers. Miller will explore 
 this complex situation—which included a bitter lawsuit in San 
 Francisco—through numerous illustrations.\n\nLeta Miller, Professor 
 Emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has published widely 
 on twentieth-century music, including her book Music and Politics in San 
 Francisco, biographies of composers Aaron Jay Kernis, Chen Yi, and Lou 
 Harrison, and more than twenty articles on Harrison, John Cage, Henry 
 Cowell, Charles Ives; music in San Francisco; and the philanthropy of 
 Phoebe Apperson Hearst. She was an active flutist for many years and 
 previously published articles on Renaissance and Baroque music.\n\nDoors
