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.

Reviews
"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.
