Babylon Girls: Black Women Performers and the Shaping of the Modern Paperback - 2008
by Jayna Brown
From the rear cover
"The most exciting piece of scholarship that I've read in ages, "Babylon Girls" succeeds as an extremely ambitious, meticulously researched, brilliantly theorized cultural history. It is a landmark contribution to jazz studies, dance and performance studies, black women's history, studies of minstrelsy, and theories of cross-cultural exchange."--Sherrie Tucker, author of "Swing Shift: "All-Girl" Bands of the 1940s"
