基本説明
Study focuses on the social, racial, and artistic climate for African American performers working during the swing era - roughly the late 1920s through the 1940s.
Full Description
The career of Norton and Margot, a ballroom dance team whose work was thwarted by the racial tenets of the era, serves as the barometer of the times and acts as the tour guide on this excursion through the worlds of African American vaudeville, black and white America during the swing era, the European touring circuit, and pre-Civil Rights era racial etiquette.
