Africa~Diaspora Forum: Peter Hulme

Location: King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center Room 342E 53 Washington Square S, New York, NY, United States

In the 1920s in New York the jazz cabaret was seen as offering what the writer Eric Walrond called “Africa undraped”, and its sound was the tom-tom.  This talk will explore the period’s fascination with that instrument and with what it might signify, focusing on two texts entitled Tom-Tom, both of which offer to associate contemporary Harlem with “Africa”, in one or another of its manifestations.
