- This 95,000-word book is the first in-depth analysis of African American dancers Josephine Baker (1906-1975) and Katherine Dunham’s (1909-2006) international screen and literary careers. The study draws on an array of previously unexamined visual and textual sources, including memoirs, correspondence, and critics’ reviews in French and Italian, to map the intellectual underpinnings and visual impact of their art and to establish both women as pioneering Black women writers and film authors.
