Eleanora "Lady Day" Fagan, better known as Billie Holiday, played a
primary role in the development of American jazz culture and in
African American history. Devoted to the enduring jazz icon,
covering many aspects of her career, image and legacy, these essays
range from musical and vocal analyses, to critical assessments of
film depictions of the singer, to analysis of the social movements
and protests addressed by her signature songs, including her impact
on contemporary movements such as #BlackLivesMatter. More than a
century after her birth, Billie Holiday's abiding relevance and
impact is a testament to the power of musical protest. This
collection pays tribute to her creativity, bravery and lasting
legacy.
