Reseña del editor
Passionate and enormously talented, Paul Robeson lived one of the great lives of the twentieth century. Martin Duberman's classic biography is a monumental and powerfully affecting portrait of one of this century's most notable performers, political radicals, and champions of racial equality.
Drawing on a vast archive of family papers and interviews with friends and relatives as well as FBI files, Paul Robeson charts the heroic and tragic course of Robeson's life: from his early days as the son of a former slave to his rise to unprecedented international acclaim as a stage actor and singer, and from his political awakening to his downfall as a victim of McCarthyism and the efforts of the U.S. government to destroy him.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: fine. First edition. First edition/printing. Fine (tiny red dot top edge) in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. xiii+ 804 pp. with index. Illustrated with photographs. Full scale biography of Paul Robeson (1898-1976), a major American figure, the great black singer and actor who was perhaps the most pasionatly outspoken advocate of racial equality of his time. Son of a former slave, Robeson attended Rutgers where he distinguished himself both as an All American athlete and a Phi Beta Kappa scholar. During the Harlem Renaissance, he became a foremost interpreter of spirituals. On dstage , he moved from the title role in O'Neill's "Emperor Jones" at the Provincetown Playhouse to his eventual triuphant performance on Broadway as Othello. Though his prodigious talents might have allowed Robeson to bypass the pervasive racial injustices of the time, he chose instead to challenge them head on; as aerly as his mid thirties, he searched for artictic vehicles that would meaningfully reflect his African heritage. After World War II, he beacme a person of interest for both Senator Joe McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover's FBI both nof whom viewed him as a Soviet apologists. In 1950, he was effectively cut off from his international audience when the State Department revoked his passport. In his final years, his health and career both broken, he was forced to the sidelines of the civil rights struggles of the 1960s and early 70s. Artikel-Nr. E25389G
