Lacking jacket, the cover is a bit smudged, and also sunned but the gold titled spine is legible. Katherine Dunham opened many formerly-closed doors for black singers and musicians. This is a fairly rare book detailing (thru vintage photos) the lasting impact Dunham had on black culture and entertainment.in America. The book will be sent, carefully packed, with tracking.
