Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This book compares the origins of samba, jazz, and the blues, discussing the racial and popular class elements surrounding them and how white middle-class composers gradually appropriated them, in the context of Brazil and the United States, providing invaluable comparative insights about modernity, music and race. These musical styles developed at the beginning of the twentieth century when Brazil and the United States, despite their differences, underwent significant social processes, such as dealing with the consequences of enslavement, European and global migration, rapid urbanization and industrialization, monetization of life, changes in gender and family relations, and the building of national identities. Their lyrics carry potent messages that reflect their social context and shed light on recurring themes such as work, money, love, gender, family, and race. Many of these songs have become classics that continue to resonate with the imaginaries of both countries. Brazilian and American music intertwined through the performances of Black musicians in 1920s Paris, the development of jazz bands in Brazil, and the presence of artists like Carmen Miranda in 1940s Hollywood.
The book will be of interest to those studying the modern Americas, popular culture, music and race, affect in history, gender, and capitalism.
