Genesis and Structure of the Hungarian Jazz Diaspora
«
What a complex, brilliant little book! It’s best to read it as
• a tour de force in the ethnography of performing arts, putting the field of jazz in Hungary on the map of the social sciences world-wide,
• a courageous renewal of the Bourdieusian dialect of sociology, from the sidelines of European bourgeois modernity,
• an ethnography of the place of ‘race’ and identity as they appear in the cosmos of the creative arts, and dance in the double bind of Dirty Whiteness and (dis)privilege,
• an insider-outsider take on the whirl of radically open-ended art,
• an account of creative lives that vibrate between bebop inspirations and the “burden of free idioms”, negotiating the all-important informal scripts played in the “Roma” and “assimilated Jewish” scenes, and
• a sparkling allegory for semiperipheral east-central Europe, a tiny universe of its own, forever in search of a sound—finding a voice that it can regard as its own.József Böröcz, Professor of Sociology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA
