This book uses a black/white interracial lens to examine the lives
and careers of eight prominent American-born actresses from the
silent age through the studio era, New Hollywood, and into the
present century: Josephine Baker, Nina Mae McKinney, Fredi
Washington, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Lonette McKee, Jennifer
Beals and Halle Berry. Combining biography with detailed film
readings, the author fleshes out the tragic mulatto stereotype,
while at the same time exploring concepts and themes such as racial
identity, the one-drop rule, passing, skin color, transracial
adoption, interracial romance, and more. With a wealth of
background information, this study also places these actresses in
historical context, providing insight into the construction of
race, both onscreen and off.
