Book Synopsis

The Routledge Companion to Diasporic Jazz Studies recognizes the proliferation of jazz as global music in the 21st century. It illustrates the multi-vocality of contemporary jazz studies, combining local narratives, global histories and cultural criticism. It rests on the argument that diasporic jazz is not a passive, second-hand reflection of music originating in the US, but possesses its own integrity, vitality and distinctive range of identities. This companion reveals the contradictions of cultural globalization from which diasporic jazz cultures emerge, through 45 chapters withinseven thematic parts:

What is Diasporic Jazz?

Histories and Counter-Narratives

Making, Disseminating and Consuming Diasporic Jazz

Culture, Politics and Ideology

Communities and Distinctions

Presenting and Representing Diasporic Jazz

Challenges and New Directions
