"The Jazz Republic" examines jazz music and the jazz artists who shaped Germany's
exposure to this African American art form from 1919 through 1933. Jonathan O. Wipplinger
explores the history of jazz in Germany as well as the roles that music, race (especially
Blackness), and America played in German culture and follows the debate over jazz
through the fourteen years of Germany's first democracy. He explores visiting jazz
musicians including the African American Sam Wooding and the white American Paul Whiteman
and how their performances were received by German critics and artists. He also engages
with the meaning of jazz in debates over changing gender norms and jazz's status between
paradigms of high and low culture. By looking at German translations of Langston Hughes's
poetry, as well as Theodor W. Adorno's controversial rejection of jazz in light of
racial persecution, Wipplinger examines how jazz came to be part of German cultural
production more broadly in both the US and Germany, in the early 1930s. Using a wide
array of sources from newspapers, modernist and popular journals, as well as items
from the music press, this work intervenes in the debate over the German encounter
with jazz by arguing that the music was no mere "symbol" of Weimar's modernism and
modernity. Rather than reflecting intra-German and/or European debates, it suggests
that jazz and its practitioners, African American, white American, Afro-European,
German and otherwise, shaped Weimar culture in a central way
