Industry Reviews
"...offers a challenging new take on racial and musical imagery in German literature and philosophy of the early twentieth century." - Monatshefte
"...Thompson brings to light important details that in numerous instances would be easy to overlook, subjecting them to scrutiny that yields vital clues about the understanding and experience of jazz in the Weimar and Nazi eras." - Notes
"Anti-Music is an interesting and highly theoretical title that examines not just the definition and reception of jazz in Germany of the interwar years, but also the loosely connected topics and definitions of blackness, racial imagination, primitivism, white superiority, and cultural imperialism." - Jive-Talk
"This book synthesizes the ideological reception of jazz amongst a series of key German thinkers and cultural producers from the interwar era. It offers bold, sophisticated readings of their texts and of how they conceived of racial blackness. It is a major contribution to the field." - Andrew Wright Hurley, author of The Return of Jazz: Joachim-Ernst Berendt and West German Cultural Change
