Book Reviews of The Undiscovered Paul Robeson , An Artist's Journey, 1898-1939
Book Review: "Rediscovering Paul Robeson..."
Summary: 4 Stars
For those of us who knew only that this great and gifted Renaissance man had fallen out of political favor of a paranoid United States, this is a great opportunity to see who he really was. Written by his son, this first volume study of Paul Robeson's life is replete with photographs, diary entries, and correspondence of the type only a family member might have. Paul Robeson Jr. spent a good part of his formative years away from his famous parents, and his view of their sometimes strained marriage, held together primarily by their preoccupation with Robeson's career, is remarkably detatched. This is an excellent snapshot of an era when the life of a black artist was complicated by American racism, and the tremendous intellect of a thoughtful genius who had his own views of the world could be stifled by an America unwilling to open its mind.A must read for anyone wishing to understand this aspect of African America in the 20th century. I look forward eagerly to the second volume.
