{"product_id":"9781498555760","title":"Transnational Cinematic and Popular Music Icons: Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, and Queen Latifah, 1917-2017","description":"Transnational Cinematic \u0026amp; Popular Music Icons: Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, \u0026amp; Queen Latifah, 1917-2017 centers twentieth and twenty-first century black-transnational stereotypes, celebrities, and symbols Lena Horne's, Dorothy Dandridge;s, and Queen Latifah’s transnational popular cultural struggles between domination and autonomy, with a particular emphasis on their films and popular music. 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.","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126943596784,"sku":"9781498555760","price":85.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781498555760_p0.jpg?v=1769896571","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781498555760","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
