Summary:
A son of poor Jamaican immigrants who grew up in Depression-era Harlem, Harry
Belafonte
became the first
black
performer to gain artistic control over the representation of African Americans in commercial television and film. Forging connections with an astonishing array of consequential players on the American scene in the decades following World War II -- from Paul Robeson to Ed Sullivan, John Kennedy to Stokely Carmichael --
Belafonte
established his place in American culture as a hugely popular singer, matinee idol, internationalist, and champion of civil rights,
black
pride, and
black
power. --Publisher's description.
