Yoshiomi Saito

The Global Politics of Jazz in the Twentieth Century

Cultural Diplomacy and American Music

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This comparative analysis on the range of jazz scenes and cultures offers a detailed evaluation as to why jazz diplomacy succeeded in certain countries and periods, but failed in others. Furthering our understanding of the organic relationship between jazz and global politics, Saito re-evaluates jazz as an exclusively 'American music'.
