PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ádám Havas is a Sociologist and jazz researcher based in Budapest, Hungary.
What a complex, brilliant little book! It’s best to read it as • a tour de force in the ethnography of performing arts, putting the field of jazz in Hungary on the map of the social sciences world-wide, • a courageous renewal of the Bourdieusian dialect of sociology, from the sidelines of European bourgeois modernity, • an ethnography of the place of ‘race’ and identity as they appear in the cosmos of the creative arts, and dance in the double bind of Dirty Whiteness and (dis)privilege, • an insider-outsider take on the whirl of radically open-ended art, • an account of creative lives that vibrate between bebop inspirations and the “burden of free idioms”, negotiating the all-important informal scripts played in the “Roma” and “assimilated Jewish” scenes, and • a sparkling allegory for semiperipheral east-central Europe, a tiny universe of its own, forever in search of a sound—finding a voice that it can regard as its own. József Böröcz, Professor of Sociology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA
