Gilles Peterson Reihenfolge der Bücher

The first ever book about Cuban record sleeve design, compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker, Cuba: Music and Revolution features hundreds of rarely seen vinyl records from the start of the Cuban Revolution at the beginning of the 1960s up until 1985, when Cuba's Special Period, brought about by the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the withdrawal of Russia's financial support for the Cuban government, led to the demise of vinyl-record manufacturing in Cuba. The artwork here reflects both the cultural and musical depth of Cuba as well as the political influence of revolutionary communism. Over the past century, Cuban music has produced a seemingly endless variety of styles--rumba, mambo, son, salsa--at a dizzyingly fast rate. Since the 1940s a steady stream of Cuban musicians has also made the migration to the US, sparking changes in North American musical forms: bandleader Machito set New York's jazz and Latin scene on fire, and master drummer Chano Pozo's entry into Dizzy Gillespie's group led to the birth of Latin jazz, to name just two. After the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the new government closed American-owned nightclubs and consolidated the island's recording industry under a state-run monopoly. Out of this new socialist agenda came new musical styles, including the Nueva Trova movement of left-wing songwriters. The 1980s saw more experimentation in modernist jazz, salsa and Afro-Cuban folkloric music. Generously illustrated with hundreds of color images, 'Cuba: Music and Revolution' presents the history of Cuban record cover art, including many examples previously unseen outside the island itself

With transgender rights at the forefront of American discourse, the misconception persists that today's transgender children are a new phenomenon facing unprecedented challenges. This work dispels that myth by revealing a hidden twentieth-century history where transgender children not only existed but played a pivotal role in the medicalization of gender long before the term "transgender" was coined. It traces the journey from the early 1900s, when children with "ambiguous" sex sought medical help, through the 1930s, when transgender individuals began consulting doctors for sex alteration, to the 1960s and '70s, when institutionalization allowed transgender children to access hormones and gender confirmation. The author meticulously reconstructs the medicalization and racialization of children's bodies, emphasizing the exclusion of Black and trans children of color from historical narratives. By placing race at the core of the analysis, the work challenges existing frameworks in transgender studies. Drawing from extensive archival research, including personal letters from children to doctors and relevant medical literature, it illuminates the lives of transgender children in the early twentieth century—a time when the concept of transgender was not yet defined but undeniably present in the experiences of children and their families.

A new flexibound edition of a Soul Jazz Records classic publication. This is a unique collection of cover artwork of revolutionary jazz released in the USA in the 1970s, a time of great political and social importance for African- American artists. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and John Coltrane loom large as self-determination, economic power and musical freedom led to artists finding new paths both musical and economic. Away from the mainstream, many of these musicians chose to take control of their economic worth by recording, releasing and distributing their own material. Thirty years later and these artefacts are a striking reflection of the time, pre-desktop publishing, and pre-internet, these small-run (sometimes as low as 500 copies), self-made sleeves are as iconic and historically important as the revolution of D.I.Y. culture that sprang out of punk. Soul Jazz Records have produced many releases relating to this music and this book is the first ever collection of this amazing artwork. It comes with a large introduction contextualizing the music and artwork and relating how the music came about along with interviews with many of the people involved. There is also a CD/LP released by Soul Jazz Records to coincide with the deluxe book, featuring many of the artists that appear in the book.
