Description
"In 1964, Nina Simone sat at a piano in New York's Carnegie Hall to play what she called a 'show tune.' Then she began to sing: 'Alabama's got me so upset/Tennessee made me lose my rest/And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam!' Simone, and her song, became icons of the civil rights movement. But her confrontational style was not the only path taken by black women entertainers. In [this work], Ruth Feldstein examines celebrated black women performers, illuminating the risks they took, their roles at home and abroad, and the ways that they raised the issue of gender amid their demands for black liberation."--Publisher's description.
