Synopsis
The popular For Beginners series takes on one of the most important figures of the American Civil Rights movement. Not just fighting against segregation and racism, Paul Robeson aimed to advance the civil rights of all Americans, most famously by standing up to McCarthyism in the1950s. Paul Robeson's life is all the more astonishing for having also been a singer, actor and NFL player. Written in short, humorous and informative chapters and laced with lively drawings, readers are told the story of an important life lived with passion, anger and love.

Paul Robeson for Beginners (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Von Notias, Elizabeth; Ramsess (illustrator). Paperback. Paul Robeson, despite being one of the greatest Renaissance figures in American history, still remains in relative anonymity. An exceptional scholar, lawyer, athlete, stage and screen actor, linguist, singer, civil rights and political activist, he performed brilliantly in every professional enterprise he undertook. Any serious treatment of civil rights history and radical politics as well as American sports, musical, theatrical, and film history must consider the enormous contributions of Paul Robeson.And yet, Paul Robeson remains virtually unknown by millions of educated Americans. People typically know him for only one, if any, of the major successes of his life: the concert singer best known for "Old Man River," the star of Shakespeare's Othello on Broadway in the early 1940s, the political activist blacklisted for his radical views and activism during the era of McCarthyism in the 1950s. Paul Robeson For Beginners demystifies and bestows light and long overdue credence to the life of this extraordinary American.
