However; I personally do not agree with her perspective and conclusion of Americanization. It is also very repetitive at times; as if the multiplicity of her conclusions gave it more validity. It is a consistent narrative to say the least. A wonderful addition to the significantly ignored area in German youth culture.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

CloudburstBreaking new historical ground; Uta Poiger explores the American cultural mediums that influenced Post-War East and West Germany in Jazz; Rock and Rebels: Cold War Politics and American Culture in a Divided Germany. Insightful and exhaustively researched; Poiger links the divided German states by a "discourse" bridge which seeks to manipulate American cultural influences to German prerogatives. The work is topically arraigned into five chapters; which collectively; link the popular culture of America in the 1950s to social injustices such as fascism and racism. Jazz music; for instance; was articulately utilized by the author to illustrate subtle differences and evolutions by the two Germanys. Initially; there was a social rejection of American Jazz music in the German states. According to Poiger; they "invoked antiblack . . . sentiments" as a method of reducing U.S. legitimacy. Over time; as Poiger noted; this stigma for jazz evaporated and became more of an accepted norm in German culture. And reviewer; Katrin Sieg; Georgetown Professor of German Studies; lauded Poiger for her tight knit handling of racial digression; and added that "as the Nazi past was discredited; biological models of racial hierarchy; or indeed the very concept of race; disappeared from public language; to be displaced by psychology as the main paradigm explaining and articulating human differences."The reader will discover many anecdotes; such as the aforementioned one; that provide convincing evidence that American culture was either embraced; or thwarted; by the two states depending on each sides definition of national identity. However; Poiger falls short of weaving a compelling argument that German adolescents were politically influenced by American culture. Although it was clear that both Germanys were inundated with U.S. movies; fashion; and Elvis style Rock n Roll; no obvious parallels were installed to illustrate how these youth translated American culture into German political alignments. One Social Historian; Donna Harsch; echoed this assessment of Poigers treatment of German youth and added that; "cultural habits of 1950s youth were; by and large; apolitical." Rebellious German youth may have enjoyed the age of promiscuous temptations by sampling various cultural pleasures enjoyed by Americans; but how these ventures equated to Germaness; or political identity; remains nebulous for the reader.Logically argued; this work contributed; more than it contracted; from the cultural and Cold War history of Post-War Germany. I appreciated the healthy samplings of German artist renderings and propaganda posters; which added a rich dimension to the overall excellent scholarship of this work. Best suited for German; Cold War; gender; cultural and racial scholars; but appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students who have an eye for cultural or gender history; this work would be and interesting read to both the scholar and leisurely reader.
