520    "This project examines the writings and international film
       careers of Josephine Baker (1906-1975) and Katherine 
       Dunham (1909-2006), the two most critically and 
       commercially successful Black women dancers of the 
       twentieth century. 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.
