hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

This collected history of black performance in the US thoughtfully examines the ways American culture was shifted by these contributions. Whether the performance, artist, or movement was accepted or met with resistance, the iconic and cultural impacts deserve appreciation for the ways in which they’ve shaped our lives. The book is beautifully written and engaging, blending the author's personal reflections with a celebration of black entertainment, while also examining the racism and resistance playing alongside these moments.
