Hollywood Musicals You Missed

Pre-World War II Hollywood musicals weren't only about Astaire and Rogers, Mickey and Judy, Busby Berkeley, Bing Crosby, or Shirley Temple. The early musical developed through tangents that reflected larger trends in film and American culture at large. Here is a survey of select titles with a variety of influences: outsized songwriter personalities, hubbub over "hillbilly" and cowboy stereotypes, the emergence of swing, and the brief parade of opera stars to celluloid. Featured movies range from the smash hit Alexander's Ragtime Band (1938), to obscurities such as Are You There? (1930) and Swing, Sister, Swing (1938), to the high-grossing but now forgotten Mountain Music (1937), and It's Great to Be Alive (1933), a zesty pre-Code musical/science-fiction/comedy mishmash. Also included are some of the not-so-memorable pictures made by some of the decade's greatest musical stars.

Pepper Adams' Joy Road

Pepper Adams' Joy Road not only compiles the sessions and gigs of the greatest baritone saxophone soloist in history, but it's a fascinating overview of Adams' life and times through colorful interviews with Adams and other musicians. These candid observations open a window onto the behind-the-scenes drama that surrounded legendary recordings by John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Pearson, Thad Jones, David Amram, Elvin Jones, and many others.

Besatzungskinder

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kamen in Österreich und Deutschland Hunderttausende Besatzungskinder auf die Welt: als Folge von Liebesbeziehungen, kurzen Affären, "Überlebensprostitution", aber auch nach Vergewaltigungen. Sie galten als "Kinder des Feindes", obwohl ihre Väter offiziell keine Feinde mehr waren. Häufig waren sie - gemeinsam mit ihren Müttern - Diskriminierung und Stigmatisierung ausgesetzt. Das Buch gibt erstmals einen Überblick über die Situation dieser besonderen Gruppe der Kriegskinder, über ihre Sozialisations- und Lebensbedingungen sowie über die lebenslange Suche nach dem Vater. In autobiografischen Texten kommen Besatzungskinder auch selbst zur Sprache. Damit soll dieses vielfach bis heute tabuisierte Thema der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht und eine Lücke in der Zeitgeschichteforschung geschlossen werden.
