Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and other well-known jazz musicians were sent around the world - including to an array of Communist countries - as "jazz ambassadors" in order to mitigate the negative image associated with domestic racial problems. While many non-Americans embraced the Americanism behind this jazz diplomacy without question, others criticized American domestic and foreign policies while still appreciating jazz - thus jazz, despite its popularity, also became a medium for expressing anti-Americanism. This book examines the development of jazz outside America, including across diverse historical periods and geographies - shedding light on the effectiveness of jazz as an instrument of state power within a global political context.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aHistory2bicssc 7aPolitics and government2bicssc 7aThe Arts2bicssc  aArts  ahumanities  ainternational relations  apolitics40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/3743570zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication
