The German-Jewish emigre composer Stefan Wolpe was a vital figure
in the history of modernism, with affiliations ranging from the
Bauhaus, Berlin agitprop and the kibbutz movement to bebop,
Abstract Expressionism and Black Mountain College. This is the
first full-length study of this often overlooked composer, launched
from the standpoint of the mass migrations that have defined recent
times. Drawing on over 2000 pages of unpublished documents, Cohen
explores how avant-garde communities across three continents
adapted to situations of extreme cultural and physical dislocation.
A conjurer of unexpected cultural connections, Wolpe serves as an
entry-point to the utopian art worlds of Weimar-era Germany,
pacifist movements in 1930s Palestine and vibrant art and music
scenes in early Cold War America. The book takes advantage of
Wolpe's role as a mediator, bringing together perspectives from
music scholarship, art history, comparative literature,
postcolonial studies and recent theories of cosmopolitanism and
diaspora.
