Josephine Baker’s lasting star power can be observed in popular culture and memorialization around the world. Against this backdrop, Katharina Gerund outlines Baker’s public life and career – from modern superstar to heroine and spy to activist and mother. She focuses on the transatlantic dimension of Baker’s art and activism (incl. her role in cultural exchanges and national identity constructions), her military heroism during World War II, and her life-long fight against fascism and racism on both sides of the Atlantic.
