This definitive biography chronicles the life and career of Pearl Primus, a pioneering figure who bridged the gap between anthropological research and modern dance. Drawing on extensive interviews and archival materials, the text explores her commitment to using movement as a vehicle for social justice and her profound influence on the development of African American concert dance throughout the twentieth century.
