So, this is Iceland, huh? Tolerant Iceland? Ray are you done with your guitar yet?

"#Iceland is a nation that has always known how to keep its stories alive, from the medieval sagas to the living oral traditions that shaped its literature and language. But its more recent #history of #Jewish exile has gone largely untold for nearly a century until now — as #scholars have worked both to recover the #music that #Nazi persecution scattered across the globe and reconstruct an #Icelandic #musical history that offers a painful reminder of the country’s #Holocaust history.

The #musicians’ #story is the subject of a newly #translated #book, “Music at World’s End: Three Refugee Musicians from Nazi #Germany and Their Contribution to Iceland’s Music Life,” by #Icelandic #musicologist #ÁrniHeimirIngólfsson. It was #published in #English this year by #SUNYPress following the Icelandic edition in 2024.

The #book reconstructs the three refugees’ individual pathways to Iceland."

Here goes: an #introduction! I’m an #editor at #SUNYPress, acquiring in #GenderStudies, #QueerStudies, #LatinAmericanStudies, #LiteraryStudies, #education, and more more more. My home field is #modernism and I wrote a book about modernist #womenwriters and thinking about the #gift in post-WWI literature and the social sciences. Trying to fight the good fight on behalf of #UniversityPress workers. Here to boost #labor issues and organizing in #HigherEducation.
