eBook
The Jazz Problem
2023
Overview
The Jazz Problem shows how high schools and colleges were
the primary sites of this generational debate around jazz, the
century's first cultural war. Schools were crucial sites of dispute
between the worldviews of the late nineteenth century and the
emerging modern world, one synonymous with jazz. As a major site of
character formation where students came of age, high schools and
colleges were the places where jazz was simultaneously celebrated
and denigrated. Educators saw jazz as inseparable from other vices,
such as smoking, drinking, \"immodest dress\" (for women), and some
degree of sexual activity. Yet young people felt jazz was their
music and relished the sense of generational autonomy that came
with their affinity for jazz. This book offers a fresh and
compelling look at the jazz controversy and how it shaped not only
America.
