Linking each performer to twentieth century U.S., African-American, and global gender histories and noting the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, and empire in their overlapping transnational biographies, Transnational Cinematic \u0026amp; Popular Music Icons: Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, \u0026amp; Queen Latifah, 1917-2017 connects Horne, Dandridge, and Latifah to each other and legacies of Hollywood stereotypes and popular music's internationally-routed politics. Through a close reading of Horne's, Dandridge's, and Latifah's films and popular music, the performers tie to historic black-transnational caricatures, from the \"tragic mulatto\" to Sapphire, Mammy, and Jezebel, and additional, non-white female performers, from Josephine Baker to Halle Berry, maneuvering within transnational popular culture industrial matrices and against white supremacist and hetero-patriarchal forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Lefkovitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498555756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498555753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Aaron Lefkovitz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064891732223,"sku":"9781498555753","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7cb74bec-c8d9-4a7a-82a9-18f290f2ef2b.jpg?v=1685398191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transnational-cinematic-and-popular-music-aaron-lefkovitz-9781498555753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
