As a composer in 1920s Germany, he promoted the fashionable Americanism of the time, caught allegorically between utopian hope and dystopian dread. As an migr who managed to escape that dread for a career that included writing hits for Broadway, he saw his adopted country as a place where he could continue his oeuvre-defining aims of reconciling individual needs and the collective imperatives of modernity. -- Stephen Hinton, Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities, Stanford University Naomi Graber utilizes the lens of Weill's engagement with an imagined 'Amerika' of the Weimar Germany and then the real America he encountered firsthand after 1935. This allows her to situate Weill's output in nuanced cultural context while illuminating how Weill's experience as 'outsider-turned-insider' gave him a unique voice on both sides of the Atlantic. -- Kim H.
