Paperback. Condition: New. This title examines a pan-ethnic style of music created by North African and Middle Eastern Israeli musicians in the late twentieth century. The relocation of North African and Middle Eastern Jews to Israel in the 1950s and 1960s brought together communities from Egypt, Iraq, Kurdistan, Yemen, and many other Islamic countries, as well as their unique music styles. In the unstable, improvisatory spaces of transit camps, development towns, and poor neighborhoods, they created a new pan-ethnic Mizrahi identity and a homegrown hybrid music that inspired equal parts high-pitched enthusiasm and resistance along the fault lines of Israel's ethnic divide. In ""Mediterranean Israeli Music and the Politics of the Aesthetic"", author Amy Horowitz investigates the emergence of a new panethnic Mizrahi style of music between the 1970s and 1990s, as the community struggled to gain recognition on the overlapping stages of politics and music. This volume is both an ethnographic study based on Horowitz's immersion in the Mizrahi community and a multi-voiced account of community members, who describe their music and musicians who play it. Horowitz focuses primarily on the work of three artists - Avihu Medina, Zohar Argov, and Zehava Ben - who pioneered a recognizable Mizrahi style and moved this new musical formation from the Mizrahi neighborhoods to the national arena. She also contextualizes the music within the history of the community by detailing the mass migration of North African and Middle Eastern Jews to Israel, the emergence of these immigrants as a pan-ethnic political coalition in the 1970s, and the opening up of markets for disenfranchised music makers as a result of new recording technologies, including the cassette recorder and four-way duplicating machine. ""Mediterranean Israeli Music and the Politics of the Aesthetic"" places folklore within the frameworks of nationalism, ethnicity, ethnomusicology, Jewish studies, Israel studies, Middle Eastern Studies, and politics. Anyone interested in these disciplines will appreciate this remarkable volume. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Portraits of young adults in Washington Square Park and the West Village of New York City, documenting those on the cusp of adulthood in one of the most culturally diverse areas of the USA Amy Horowitz's superb street portraiture is all about connection. It's about being seen, heard, and understood, for those she photographs as well as for herself. For the past five years Amy has made portraits of young adults in Washington Square Park and the West Village of New York City, documenting those on the cusp of adulthood in one of the most culturally diverse areas of the country. Amy is moved by how youth here explore their identities as they transition into adulthood during a tumultuous time in history.
