In this talk, Moore will discuss her first book, Soundscapes of Liberation: African American Music in Postwar France (Duke University Press, 2021), which tracks the production and distribution of various forms of African American music (including jazz, spirituals, gospel, and the blues) in France and the Francophone world after World War II. By showing how the popularity of African American music was intertwined with contemporary structures of racism and imperialism, the book demonstrates this music's centrality to postwar France and the convergence of decolonization, the expanding globalized economy, the Cold War, and worldwide liberation movements. In 2022, it was awarded the Gilbert Chinard Book Prize by the Society for French Historical Studies and short-listed for the Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

This talk is free and open to the public, and will not be recorded. Co-sponsored by the History Department.
