About this product
Product Information
When German-Jewish composer Kurt Weill arrived in the United States in 1935, he found a nation nothing like he imagined. This book tells the full story of Weill as outsider-turned-insider, showing how he was keenly attuned to the difficult relationship America had with her immigrants but was slower to grasp the subtleties of race relations.

"Scholars will appreciate the authoritative, well-documented information in this text." -- J. E. Druesedow Jr., CHOICE"Naomi Graber deftly guides the reader through the changing cultural terrain of the two Americas that shaped Weill's career. As a composer in 1920s Germany, he promoted the fashionable "Americanism" of the time, caught allegorically between utopian hope and dystopian dread. As an 'emigr'e who managed to escape that dread for a career that included writing hits for Broadway, he saw his adopted country as a place where Âhe could continue his oeuvre-defining aims of reconciling individual needs and the collective imperatives of modernity." -- Stephen Hinton, Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities, Stanford University"Naomi Graber utilizes the lens of Weill's engagement with an imagined 'Amerika' of the Weimar Germany and then the real America he encountered firsthand after 1935. This allows her to situate Weill's output in nuanced cultural context while illuminating how Weill's experience as 'outsider-turned-insider' gave him a unique voice on both sides of the Atlantic." -- Kim H.

Ok so I ordered this item listed as having free shipping. It was listed at $43.54 with free shipping. Somehow I ended up being charged $65.52. Then after waiting 3 weeks and having absolutely no tracking information I spoke with the seller who agreed to send a replacment, but despite charging me extra money was unwilling to ship that replacment in a way that wouldn't take atleast 3 more weeks. Ultimately this was a complete waste of time and the seller is not one that I would recommend.

This is not a coloring book!!!!! It’s just a book of black and white photos and even if colored over would look horrible! This book is a scam and I have received 2 items out of 3 I ordered and the third hasn’t even been shipped. Tried to message seller but only option given is to send the item number but no way to give reason for dissatisfaction with item! I would advise not ordering anything from this seller…
