Produktbeschreibung

"A history that reads like a good story, this new book by Jeffrey H. Jackson illumines the multiple reactions to jazz in France, ranging from enthusiasm and fascination to fear and disgust. It also vividly recaptures the broad cultural context and above all succeeds in demonstrating the importance of jazz for the ongoing debate about French national identity and modernity."--Charles Rearick, author of "The French in Love and War: Popular Culture in the Era of the World Wars"
