Red Vienna, White Socialism, and the Blues

"After the First World War, Vienna was overrun by jazz, Hollywood movies, and Fordism; its citizens were both fascinated and appalled by the waves of American ideas and products. To make sense of things, readers turned to Ann Tizia Leitich, New York-based correspondent for Vienna's Neue Freie Presse. Chronicling Leitich's rise as a journalist, cultural historian, and novelist and providing close readings of her writings about America, this book reveals Leitich as an important cultural mediator between Austria and America"--Provided by publisher.
