Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Michigan, 1997.

Among the Curacaoan jazz community and the Chicago-based Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), identity is directly influenced by the societal and political environments from which it emerges. Members from both groups have revised and re-invented traditions and identities to better suit their circumstance in the "new world." This dissertation examines those complexities via music from these two positions within the African Diaspora.

520 $a Among the Curacaoan jazz community and the Chicago-based Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), identity is directly influenced by the societal and political environments from which it emerges. Members from both groups have revised and re-invented traditions and identities to better suit their circumstance in the "new world." This dissertation examines those complexities via music from these two positions within the African Diaspora.
520 $a The Curacaoan jazz musicians embrace a variety of identity choices, ranging from Indian to Cuban, Dutch to Venezuelan, and Colombian to Brazilian, as well as the all-embracing, Africa. As a result, Curacaoans hold strong multi-racial and multi-cultural patterns of identity. "We are a mosaic of people, ideas, cultures, and identities," one Curacaoan bass player explains.
520 $a We do not turn exclusively to Africa, and I resent people thinking we should. Yes, we're African. But we are also Arawak and we are also Dutch. ... that's what I think being Antillean is about--being all of those cultures at once or choosing just one or two. It is much more freeing this way. We are who we believe ourselves to be--not what someone thinks we should be. $\ sp1
520 $a Persons with close ties to the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians take pride in their African lineage and collectively seek to create art forms reflective of that view. In acknowledging their African lineage, AACM members use both their performances and compositions to re-invent Africa, recreating the continent through instrumentation, text, musical rhythm, compositional structure, and visual effects. As AACM drummer Ajaramu asserts, "Look at me! How could I play anything but African?" $\ sp2
520 $a Central to the dissertation are the voices of the musicians themselves. They have shared musical examples they felt best reflect who they are, offering their own musical analyses that specify how their identities are portrayed. It is the author's intent to use this combined study of musicians from Curacao and the AACM to display and define some of the complexities of Black identity in the Americas and inquire into the methods by which these choices of identity are displayed in music. ftn $\ sp1 $\ sp2
