These could be the crowning achievements of a life well-lived, yet for Paul Robeson the higher calling of social justice led him to abandon the theater and Hollywood to become one of the most important political activists of his generation. Gerald Horne's biography uses Robeson's remarkable and revolutionary life to tell the story of the 20th century's great political struggles: against racism, against colonialism, and for international socialism. -- from back cover.Revolutionary lives.African American singersBiographySingersUnited StatesBiographyAfrican American actorsBiographyPolitical activistsUnited StatesBiographyAfrican American civil rights workersBiographyBiographieslcgftHistoryLondonMoscowUnited StatesAfrican American singersSingersAfrican American actorsPolitical activistsAfrican American civil rights workers900Horne Gerald850651MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910137379003321Paul Robeson1970211UNINA
