ZOOM: Josephine Baker and Paris: Celebrated Performer and Spy   

**This class will be taught on Zoom**

Josephine Baker (1906-1975) was a flamboyant American-born French dancer and singer who galvanized European audiences in the 1920s and ‘30s. This course offers fresh video clips exploring her unique  artistry, comedic brilliance, charisma and massive impact on Paris. During WWII she bravely aided the  French resistance and Allies by spying on the Axis and entertaining the troops, emerging a transcendent  avatar of freedom. We’ll also investigate the tiny enclave of African American entertainers in Paris between the wars who altered the course of European music and art.
