"A'Lelia Walker, heir and conflicted CEO of the Madam C J Walker haircare empire, hostess extraordinaire, and maven of the Harlem Renaissance, emerges with exquisite vitality in this splendid biography by her namesake and descendant, A'Lelia Bundles. Joy Goddess glitters with drama, intrigue, and spectacular historical detail, relying on carefully assembled archival materials and oral histories from the author's private collections and interviews. But like the diamonds of which A'Lelia Walker was famously fond, this biographical treatment also cuts, laying bare the inner tensions, cold compromises, and sordid betrayals that came with the quest to chase property, luxury, respectability, and media coverage. In this sparkling tragedy, the Black elites and celebrity artists of the 1920s emerge as fully human - talented, imaginative, and flawed. A sumptuous feast for students of Black arts and culture who have wondered what truly went on inside the walls of The Dark Tower, the storied Harlem Renaissance haunt for artists and social curators who shaped the culture of their day and left a legacy for the ages." --Tiya Miles, National Book Award winner for All That She Carried, "The eventful life of a celebrity heiress.. Bundles, a former network television executive and producer, draws on family archives to create a lively portrait of her great-grandmother, A'Lelia Walker (1885-1931), a tireless champion of Black artists, writers, and musicians.. Bundles captures her energy, her drive, and her commitment to the creative community that she nourished. An engaging biography of a formidable woman." --Kirkus Reviews
Synopsis
A vibrant, deeply researched biography of A'Lelia Walker--daughter of Madam C.J. Walker and herself a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance--written by her great-granddaughter. Dubbed the "joy goddess of Harlem's 1920s" by poet Langston Hughes, A'Lelia Walker, daughter of millionaire entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker and the author's great-grandmother and namesake, is a fascinating figure whose legendary parties and Dark Tower salon helped define the Harlem Renaissance. After inheriting her mother's hair care enterprise, A'Lelia would become America's first high profile black heiress and a prominent patron of the arts. Joy Goddess takes readers inside her three New York homes--a mansion, a townhouse, and a pied-a-terre--where she entertained Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Paul Robeson, Florence Mills, James Weldon Johnson, Carl Van Vechten, W.E.B. DuBois, and other cultural, social and intellectual luminaries of the Roaring Twenties. Now, based on extensive research and Walker's personal correspondence, her great-granddaughter creates a meticulous, nuanced portrait of a charismatic woman struggling to define herself as a wife, mother, and businesswoman outside her famous mother's sphere. In Joy Goddess , A'Lelia's radiant personality and impresario instincts--at the center of a vast, artistic social world where she flourished as a fashion trendsetter and international traveler--are brought to vivid and unforgettable life.

- 2***d (4352)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGood seller, shipped fast. Little problem with the box it was shipped in. It was packed with these books & 2 others & had come open in shipping. The Post Office put some heavy white tape to hold it together & there was small damage to some of the items, not anything to really complain about. I wanted all these items & I appreciate the discount that was given. Will buy from again & tell the Shipping Dept. to be careful about over-loading the box. Blessings.
