Un livre le plus attendu de l'année : The Today Show, Vanity Fair, Financial Times, W Magazine, Oprah Daily, LibraryReads
Loué comme drôle et spirituel par Kwame Alexander dans l'émission TODAY, maintenant publié aux États-Unis pour la première fois, Fearless and Free est le mémoire des trailblazing (gens), Josephine Baker, unique en son genre, la danseuse, chanteuse, espion et activiste des droits civiques.
Un magnifique joyau captivant d'un souvenir... Josephine Baker est aussi captivante sur la page qu'elle était sur scène. Abbott Kahler, auteur à succès du New York Times d'Eden Undone et Sin in the Second City
Après avoir volé les projecteurs en tant qu'artiste adolescent de Broadway au plus fort de la Renaissance de Harlem, Joséphine a ensuite pris Paris par tempête, éblouissant le public à travers les années folles. Dans sa célèbre jupe banane, elle a ravi la royauté et d'innombrables fans - Ernest Hemingway et Pablo Picasso parmi eux. Elle se promenait dans les rues de Paris avec son guépard portant un collier en diamant. Avec son bob à rabat signature et ses mouvements de danse passionnants, elle était l'une des femmes les plus reconnaissables au monde.
Lorsque la Seconde Guerre mondiale a éclaté, Joséphine est devenue un espion décoré pour la résistance française. Sa célébrité a travaillé comme sa couverture, car elle cachait des espions dans son entourage et des messages secrets dans ses costumes pendant qu'elle voyageait. Elle a ensuite rejoint le mouvement des droits civiques aux États-Unis, boycottant les salles de concert séparées et parlant à la March on Washington aux côtés de Martin Luther King Jr.
Publié pour la première fois en France en 1949, ses mémoires seront enfin publiés en anglais. Enfin, nous pouvons entendre Joséphine dans sa propre voix : charmante, passionnée et courageuse. Ses mots sont passionnants et intimes, comme si elle parlait avec ses amis autour d'un verre après le spectacle dans son dressing. Grâce à sa propre raconte, nous apprenons à connaître une femme qui a dansé au sommet du monde et a laissé sa marque inoubliable dessus.
