The son of an escaped slave, Robeson stunned audiences with 'Ol' Man River' and Othello, as his passion for social justice led him from Jazz Age Harlem to the mining towns of Wales, from the frontiers of the Spanish Civil War to Stalin's Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharismatic, eloquent, and handsome, he had everything - and then lost it all for the sake of his principles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeff Sparrow traces Robeson's troubled life and stellar career, in a story that traverses the arc of the twentieth century and illuminates the fissures of today's fractured world. From Black Lives Matter to Putin's United Russia, Sparrow visits the places Robeson lived and worked, exploring race in America, freedom in Moscow, and the legacies of communism and fascism in Europe.\u003cbr\u003ePart travelogue, part biography, this is a tale of political ardour, heritage, and trauma - a luminous portrait of a remarkable man, and an urgent reflection on the crises that define us now.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48171396366494,"sku":"UBD-9781925321852","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925321852.jpg?v=1787220253","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925321852","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
