Read More
Starr, president of Oberlin College, argues that jazz and jazz-inspired music and world popular culture contributed to the demise of the Communist ideal. The story of jazz represents the history of the emancipation of millions of former Soviet citizens unconsciously groping for a more open relationship between the state and society. This revised edition demonstrates how the old Soviet system had become a hollow shell long before 1990, while a dramatically different society had emerged within it. Includes b&w photos.
