Jazz As Critique

Bringing critical theory to bear on music, this book argues that the jazz form models progressive social relations through its foregrounding of a "communal self," an African-American subjectivity that demands recognition of black humanity and alterity.

Aducand teoria critica asupra muzicii, aceasta carte sustine ca forma jazzului modeleaza relatii sociale progresive prin prim-planul sau de „eu comunitar”, o subiectivitate afro-americana care cere recunoasterea umanitatii si a alteritatii negre.
