This one is no exception. I did not know much about Joséphine Baker besides the banana skirt image, and of course there is so much more to this remarkable woman. Trailblazer, speaking out against racism, spy, freedom fighter, dedicated mother to 12 orphans she found around the world, adopted and created as a model for the rest of the world. This book is a quick and fun read to get you started. ( ) I absolutely loved this. It was a great biography that allowed me to get to know Josephine from birth until death. The drawings are outstanding and beautiful and help tell the tale of Josephine Baker. I can't believe we don't talk about Ms. Baker more in history. She did so much and I think it's just wonderful that she adopted 10 kids. A little crazy but wonderful. Highly recommend for people who love history, biographies or anything to do with the 1920's. You'll enjoy this educational romp through history. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Josephine Baker (1906--1975) was nineteen years old when she found herself in Paris for the first time in 1925. Overnight, the young American dancer became the idol of the Roaring Twenties, captivating Picasso, Cocteau, Le Corbusier, and Simenon. In the liberating atmosphere of the 1930s, Baker rose to fame as the first black star on the world stage, from London to Vienna, Alexandria to Buenos Aires. After World War II, and her time in the French Resistance, Baker devoted herself to the struggle against racial segregation, publicly battling the humiliations she had for so long suffered personally. She led by example, and over the course of the 1950s adopted twelve orphans of different ethnic backgrounds: a veritable Rainbow Tribe. A victim of racism throughout her life, Josephine Baker would sing of love and liberty until the day she died. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
