Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "Daylight Come takes us to places no biography in recent memory has . . . This book fills the heart and mind, and is essential reading for our times." Hilton AlsA vibrant, revealing portrait of the 'King of Calypso,' whose extraordinary performing career and activism helped remake America through the civil rights era and beyondEven three years after his death, Harry Belafonte is everywhere. You can't go to a wedding, or to a sports arena, without hearing "Day-O," "Jump in the Line," or "Jamaica Farewell." The Harlem-born son of Caribbean immigrants, Belafonte turned the folk music of the islands into American popand shaped the fantasy of Caribbean life that endures as an ideal and as a multibillion-dollar tourist industry. Belafonte released the first million-selling LP in history. He was America's first Black movie star, the first Black person to produce a prime-time special on network TV, and the first to win an Emmy Award. He was once the highest-paid Black performer of all time, beloved by Black and white fans alike, even under segregation. His artistic career helped create the pop culture of the twentieth centuryand his political activism reshaped the course of American history.In this sparkling new biography, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro brings Belafonte's personality and music vibrantly to life, following him from rags to riches and from Harlem to Jamaica to the March on Washington. Jelly-Schapiro takes us inside Belafonte's lifelong brotherhood with Sidney Poitier, his friendship with Fidel Castro, his collaboration with Nelson Mandela, and the sometimes shocking therapeutic relationships his difficult upbringing necessitated. At the heart of the story is Belafonte's bond with Martin Luther King Jr., whose cause Belafonte would champion for the rest of his life. That commitment to the greater good would sustain him and benefit untold numbersand would come at a cost.The indelible story of an American iconand a provocative study of authenticity, fame, and convictionDaylight Come is, like Harry Belafonte himself, brimming with style and consequence.…
