- Description
- This book tells the story of the interactions and connections of black colonial migrants and white feminists in the social, cultural, and political world of interwar Paris. Between world war I and II, Paris attracted inhabitants from Africa, the Caribbean and the United States and became both their home and a site for political engagement. The book explores why and how black colonial migrants and white feminists were denied certain rights, how they suffered from sensationalist images in popular culture and how they fought for equality in ways that were often interpreted as politically subversive.
