Jazz Diasporas: Race, Music, and Migration in Post-World War II Paris Volume 18 Paperback - 2016
by Rashida K. Braggs
From the rear cover
"In Jazz Diasporas, Rashida K. Braggs explores the creative tensions inherent in jazz as both African American and global music, between the particular and the universal. In doing so she gives us a noble and insightful portrait of black expatriate Paris in the decades after World War II."--Tyler Stovall, University of California, Santa Cruz, author of Paris Noir: African Americans in the City of Light
"Heartfelt, rhythmic, fluid, and eloquent. Rashida K. Braggs takes us on a fascinating journey through the diaspora that jazz built, a journey you will not want to miss. You'll know how I feel, and I'm feeling good!"--Trica Danielle Keaton, coeditor of Black Europe and the African Diaspora "The story of jazz in France is not simply a story of the generations of expatriate musicians who found welcoming audiences in Paris. Nor is it solely a matter of the ways the French heard jazz as a paradigm of modernity and learned to play it in their own way. Instead, as Rashida K. Braggs demonstrates in this groundbreaking cultural history, jazz has been crucial above all because of the new kinds of social scenes it made possible when it 'migrated' across the Atlantic. With suggestive reconsiderations of pantheon figures (Bechet, Baldwin) as well as revelatory interpretations of some deserving of wider recognition (above all, the singer and club owner Inez Cavanaugh), Jazz Diasporas is a major contribution."--Brent Hayes Edwards, Professor of English and Comparative Literature and Jazz Studies at Columbia University, author of The Practice of Diaspora: Literature, Translation, and the Rise of Black Internationalism "With enticing ethnographic details and a distinctive historicization of Parisian jazz, Rashida K. Braggs positions Paris as a vital site for the development of 'Black jazz' and adroitly exposes the myth of Paris as a racial paradise for African American musicians living exilic lives. By relating the stories of African Americans with white French, the analysis of film with literature, and the postwar era with today, Braggs leaves us with a colorfully interwoven and productively complex image of jazz and the experiences it embodies when it migrates. This exceptional, comprehensive work clearly illustrates Braggs's innovative and valuable conceptualization of 'jazz diasporas' as spaces that trouble national, racial, and artistic boundaries."--Omi Osun Joni L. Jones, University of Texas at Austin, author of Theatrical Jazz: Performance, se, and the Power of the Present MomentDetails
