Abstract
Drawing upon a critical deployment of a key Althusserian framework (Repressive State Apparatuses and Ideological State Apparatuses) this essay maps the presence and the repression of different strains of the African-American left between the world wars. Representing jazz musicians – among others – as organic intellectuals is crucial to reconstructing the combination of economic pressures and institutional co-option that shaped their activities and allegiances.
