The essential illustrated guide! This newly designed and updated
edition of Donald Bogle's classic study and celebration of
America's "dark divas" now takes readers up to the present.
Originally published in 1980, "Brown Sugar" was also the basis for
the four-hour, four-part, documentary that appeared on PBS as well
as on German Education Television, all also written by Bogle.
Lavishly illustrated, "Brown Sugar" is a pioneering book - for
example, in Bogle's application of the operatic term "diva" to pop
goddesses. The first edition traced America's black female
superstars from the beginning of the 20th century to 1980. This new
edition will have three new chapters on the 1980s, the 1990s, and
the first half of the present decade. "Brown Sugar" is not only
about music stars. It is an unexcelled examination of the lives,
careers, and sometimes-contradictory images (those public poses and
private anxieties!) of African American goddesses of pop culture:
the movies, television, music, and theatre. An interpretive
history, "Brown Sugar" is not only about the accomplishments but
also the sometimes heart-wrenching struggles and tragedies of
highly talented and ambitious women who set out to announce
themselves to the world - and while doing so, surmounted
extraordinary obstacles, both professionally and personally.
