Book Synopsis
Tackling the myriad issues raised by Sander L Gilman's provocative opening salvo - Are Jews Musical? - this volume presents a series of essays that trace the intersections of Jewish history and music from the late nineteenth century to the present. It recasts the established history of Jewish culture and its influences on modernity.

Trade Review
"Original in its organization and breadth, Jewish Musical Modernism is distinguished by the quality of the individual studies, the manner in which Philip Bohlman has framed and integrated these essays in the context of larger issues - such as myth, diaspora, and messianism - and the inclusion of valuable illustrations and musical recordings. This volume makes a significant contribution to our understanding of key moments in recent Jewish history that have immediate resonance and relevance for contemporary discussion." - Jeffrey A. Summit, Tufts University"
