内容説明

A biography of the American entertainer, Josephine Baker who influenced the spread of American 20th century music throughout Europe. O'Connor's commentary recounts her life from her illegitimate childhood in East St Louis to her last performance in 1974 in London. He tells of her work for the French resistance and her "rainbow tribe" that symbolized international brotherhood. Drawing on the personal collection of Bryan Hammond, this book aims to place Baker in her political and historical context outlining the events that led to her bankruptcy, destitution and finally state funeral.
