For two decades after rock music emerged in the 1940s, the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), the oldest and largest labor union representing professional musicians in the United States and Canada, refused to recognize rock 'n' roll as legitimate music or its performers as skilled musicians. The AFM never actively organized rock 'n' roll musicians, although recruiting them would have been in the union's economic interest. In Tell Tchaikovsky the News, Michael James Roberts argues that the reasons that the union failed to act in its own interest lay in its culture, in the opinions of its leadership and elite rank-and-file members. Explaining the bias of union members—most of whom were classical or jazz music performers—against rock music and musicians, Roberts addresses issues of race and class, questions of what qualified someone as a skilled or professional musician, and the threat that records, central to rock 'n' roll, posed to AFM members, who had long privileged live performances. Roberts contends that by rejecting rock 'n' rollers for two decades, the once formidable American Federation of Musicians lost their clout within the music industry.

«Dr. Hammer’s account of lives of registered prostitutes illustrates the complexity of discourses on medical supervision and police control of sexuality in early twentieth-century Berlin. This English edition provides historians of sexuality with insight into medical experts’ role in producing social truth and how the women profiled resisted control.»
(Deirdre McGowan, Head of Law, School of Social Sciences, Law, and Education, Technological University Dublin)
«For anyone interested in the history of prostitution, retrieving the lives and voices of sex workers poses the greatest challenge. This makes Ten Life Histories of Berlin Prostitutes a particularly precious source. Jill Suzanne Smith’s and Stephen Carruthers’s engagingly written introductions adeptly situate Hammer’s study in the contexts of Imperial Germany around 1900 and Berlin’s role as a major center of sexual reform. The translation from the German is eminently readable. Thanks to the editors, English-speaking audiences finally have access to this major document on battles over prostitution at the height of the industrial age.»
(Julia Roos, Associate Professor of History, Indiana University, Bloomington)
This book is an annotated translation into English of Zehn Lebensl?ufe Berliner Kontollm?dchen und zehn Beitr?ge zur Behandlung der geschlechtlichen Frage (1905) (Ten Life Histories of Berlin Prostitutes under Police Control and Ten Contributions to the Management of the Sexual Question) by Dr. Wilhelm Hammer (1879–1940(?)). The author worked as an assistant physician at the women’s ward at the Berlin municipal homeless shelter in the Fr?belstrasse, where he recorded Ten Life Histories. Dr. Hammer wrote Ten Life Histories as a contribution to the Gro?stadt-Dokumente [Metropolis Documents], a sociological work in fifty volumes edited by Hans Ostwald (1873–1940) published between 1904 and 1908. In addition to its interest for prostitution research, Ten Life Histories sheds valuable light on aspects of cultural and social life in the German Empire of this period, particularly on the school and welfare systems and, more generally, on women’s role in society at the time.
