S\u003ci\u003eing and Shout: The Mighty Voice of Paul Robeson \u003c\/i\u003eexplores how Robeson's love of African American spirituals and deep empathy towards the suffering of others drove his long, fervent mission as a civil rights activist and his career as an artist. Although he was also an actor, singing was Robeson's defining talent and where he could best express himself. After exploring socialism, Robeson was targeted by the U.S. government for speaking out about discrimination against African Americans and for his political views. He was labeled a communist during the height of the Cold War and found himself stripped of his U.S. passport. But Robeson never gave in and continued to perform and speak out. The book is based on author Susan Goldman Rubin's extensive research, including fieldwork in Harlem, NY, in Princeton and Somerville, NJ, and at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. Includes an author's note, resources, source notes, index, and a preface by author Harry Belafonte.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Goldman Rubin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1629798576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629798578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calkins Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2020 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020 pg. 77\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020","brand":"Susan Goldman Rubin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995129282815,"sku":"9781629798578","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6dd1d507-1837-4c51-b15e-6ed3eaa64a34.jpg?v=1683333999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sing-and-shout-susan-goldman-rubin-9781629798578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
