- The outcome of a decade’s research in French and US archives, this book offers a major reassessment of the history of African American music in France. Focussing on topics and periods that have often been overlooked, it overturns received wisdom (e.g., about the rapturous reception jazz received in France in the 1920s, or its banning during WW2) to reveal the music’s complex imbrication in debates about race and culture. Moving beyond others' focus on art music, it advances recent research on the history of jazz outside the US, while taking a more critical approach to the realities of that encounter.
