Paris Blues: African-American Music, Seen, Heard and Imagined.
Seminars
Public; Staff; Students; Academics

As a Hollywood movie of the Civil Rights Era, however, it struggles to mediate between these imagined French attitudes and equally imagined American expectations, such that it titillates but does not shock.
