Sinopse

With illustrations by Hermenegildo Sábat, Eric J. Hobsbawm's work harks back to the golden years of jazz.

In "The Social History of Jazz ," Hobsbawm analyzes jazz as a revolutionary creation of Black people, a race subjected to certain historical circumstances—modern slavery. Music is seen in this context as an element of resistance, contributing to its dissemination. In a broader context: industrialization and changes in consumption patterns among Black and white people, jazz's relationship with the record and entertainment industries, its popularization, and its followers.

"[...] Eric J. Hobsbawm is not the first jazz scholar to go beyond clichés, but he is certainly the first to do so in such detail, were he not a historian accustomed to distrusting overused versions. He gives due attention to jazz as the revolutionary creation of a race subjected to certain historical circumstances, and to the importance of these circumstances in its expansion and its tragedies, but he pays more attention to the larger context, to industrialization and the transformations in consumption patterns of whites and Blacks, to jazz's relationship with the record and entertainment industries, and to its popularizers and cultivators." (From the foreword by Luís Fernando Veríssimo)
