Books by Jason Borge

Jason Borge traces how jazz helped forge modern identities and national imaginaries in Latin America during the mid-twentieth century, showing how throughout the region, jazz functioned as a conduit through which debates about race, sexuality, nation, technology, and modernity raged in newspapers, magazines, literature, and film.

Analyzes the engagement with Hollywood by Latin American writers and intellectuals during the first decades of the 20th century.
