Summary

"Jeffrey H. Jackson's work is unique in providing a more detailed history of jazz in interwar France than anything yet in print (certainly in English). Jackson offers a new, rather unusual perspective, concentrating on the ways jazz was integrated into national practices and traditions, rather than portraying it as simply a foreign intrusion into national life. This is a very rich approach to cultural history, offering a far more complex and nuanced understanding of the process of trans-Atlantic cultural interchange than top-down perspectives."--Tyler Stovall, coeditor of "The Color of Liberty: Histories of Race in France"

Author Biography

Jeffrey H. Jackson is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Rhodes College.
