520 8 One of the cherished narratives of American history is
that of the Statue of Liberty welcoming immigrants to its
shores. Accounts of the exclusion and exploitation of
Chinese immigrants in the late nineteenth century and
Japanese internment during World War II tell a darker
story of American immigration. Less well-known, however,
is the treatment of German-Americans and German nationals
in the United States during World War I. Initially
accepted and even welcomed into American society, at the
outbreak of war this group would face rampant intolerance
and anti-German hysteria. Melissa D. Burrage's book
illustrates this dramatic shift in attitude in her
engrossing narrative of Dr. Karl Muck, the celebrated
German conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, who was
targeted and ultimately disgraced by a New York
Philharmonic board member and by capitalists from that
city who used his private sexual life as a basis for
having him arrested, interned, and deported from the
United States. While the campaign against Muck made
national headlines, and is the main focus of this book,
Burrage also illuminates broader national topics such as:
Total War; State power; vigilante justice; internment and
deportation; irresponsible journalism; sexual
surveillance; attitudes towards immigration; anti-
Semitism; and the development of America's musical
institutions. The mistreatment of Karl Muck in the United
States provides a narrative thread that connects these
various wartime and postwar themes.
