Description
Bocquet y Catel Muller cuentan en Josephine Baker la historia de una mujer que se convirtió en un icono de los locos años veinte por su alegría de vivir y su rabiosa modernidad. Bocquet y Catel rinden homenaje a una artista que deslumbró al público, pero que también demostró sus elevados valores y su compromiso, y rompió todos los tabúes a pesar de su género, color de piel y origen humilde. Josephine Baker cuenta la vida de una mujer excepcional que cantó al amor y a la libertad hasta su último aliento y que, a día de hoy, sigue siendo un ejemplo de lucha, constancia y solidaridad. «Amigos míos, sabéis que no miento si os digo que he tenido acceso a palacios de reyes y reinas, a casas de presidentes, mientras en Estados Unidos no podía entrar en un hotel o beber un café, ¡y eso me ponía furiosa!». -Josephine Baker, Marcha en Washington por el empleo y la libertad, 28 de agosto de 1963.
Description
"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." -- Provided by publisher.
