The movies dramatize the nation's uneasy effort during this era to distinguish “refugees” from “illegal aliens.” Both revolve around upstanding US government investigators falling for gorgeous, foreign ladies who are caught up in the underworld of human smuggling. Written, filmed, and shown at a moment in which the United States was debating how and whether to legally recognize, for the first time, the special status of refugees’ claims to enter the nation, the plots of both films wrestle with the question of what such claims might mean. On the surface, both movies praise U.S. efforts at immigration control; at the same time, both also call such efforts into question in the face of migrants’ hardships. But the behind-the-scenes history of the films’ production is equally noteworthy, for it reveals the curious circuitry by which new narratives around refugees were generated at this volatile postwar moment. Drawing on archival research in Hollywood and Washington DC, I tell the story of how these films grew out of a strange collaboration between movie producers and government officials, all invested in forging “reality entertainment” that projected their vision of the US immigration regime onto the nation's silver screens.","PeriodicalId":80435,"journal":{"name":"American studies (Lawrence, Kan.)","volume":"60 1","pages":"108 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ams.2021.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46738780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bland, Afro-Modernism and The Cry of Jazz","authors":"William Sites","doi":"10.1353/ams.2021.0002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/ams.2021.0002","url":null,"abstract":"The Cry of Jazz, a “thesis film” from 1959 directed by Edward O. Bland, is a long-neglected landmark in black independent cinema recognized today not for its theories about jazz but for its contentious racial politics. Bland, however, was a composer and music arranger, not a professional filmmaker, and the astringency of his film’s racial claims emerges from a particular theoretical approach to the formal structures of jazz music and their historical evolution. This article explores the relationship between musical form and racial identity as presented in The Cry of Jazz. Emphatically insisting on the music as an African American mode of expression, the film develops a critical musicology of jazz that effectively transposes Frankfurt School-like social claims about capitalist dehumanization to American conditions of racial domination. In doing so, however, Bland also argues that any further advance of African American musical culture depends on a sharp break with jazz traditions as well as the destruction of the ghetto. The result is not only a more uncompromising contribution to 1960s-era black cultural radicalism than is typically recognized but also a distinctive reformulation of the Afro-modernist aesthetic. By linking racial change in Jim Crow America to an aesthetic fusion of avant-garde classical and African American vernacular styles, The Cry of Jazz puts forward a high-modernist, composer-centered conception of black art music as cultural emancipation.","PeriodicalId":80435,"journal":{"name":"American studies (Lawrence, Kan.)","volume":"60 1","pages":"33 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ams.2021.0002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48107906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
