Drawing on previously unexamined films and texts, Hannah Durkin maps the intellectual underpinnings and visual impact of their art. By examining the narratives and dance of Baker and Hunham, Durkin is able to shed new light on the ways in which the dancers were received on both sides of the Atlantic and how they engaged personally with dominant critical interpretations of Black performance as crude and innate. The project uncovers their self-reflexive narrative strategies and provides evidence for their path-breaking interventions in cinema as stars and choreographers who believed that they could use film to contest racist frameworks and imagine new aesthetic possibilities for Black women. By analyzing the methods by which these two artists mediated popular constructions of Black women's identities, the investigation interrogates widely held conceptions of authorship and artistic hierarchies. It provides insights into intercultural identity formations by positioning Black women's bodily performances as sites on which historical struggles over cultural meanings have been played out and contested. Finally, by tracing connections between Baker and Dunham's performances and their lifelong fights against racial injustice, Durkin recovers Baker and Durham as key figures in the Civil Rights and Black Arts Movements and exposes the transatlantic struggles regarding control over cultural embodiments of Black women in a pre-Civil Rights era"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 24, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Baker, Josephine,|d1906-1975|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n50020892|xCriticism and interpretation. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005576 600 10 Dunham, Katherine|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79043983|xCriticism and interpretation.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005576 600 17 Baker, Josephine,|d1906-1975.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/6818 600 17 Dunham, Katherine.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 34303 650 0 African American women dancers|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2015002341|xBiography|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2003003651 650 0 African American women dancers|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2015002341|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Dance in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85035690 650 0 Dance in motion pictures, television, etc.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85035691|zUnited States. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Dance in motion pictures, television, etc.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85035691|zEurope.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045631-781 650 0 African Americans in motion pictures.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85002011 650 7 Criticism and interpretation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1198648 650 7 African American women dancers.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1930709 650 7 Biography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/832149 650 7 Dance in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 887523 650 7 Dance in motion pictures, television, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/887525 650 7 African Americans in motion pictures.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799733 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1245064 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDurkin, Hannah.|tJosephine Baker and Katherine Dunham.|d[Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2019|z9780252042621|w(DLC) 2019002879 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2140036|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
