Linking each performer to twentieth century U.S., African-American, and global gender histories and noting the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, and empire in their overlapping transnational biographies, Transnational Cinematic \u0026amp; Popular Music Icons: Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, \u0026amp; Queen Latifah, 1917-2017 connects Horne, Dandridge, and Latifah to each other and legacies of Hollywood stereotypes and popular music's internationally-routed politics. Through a close reading of Horne's, Dandridge's, and Latifah's films and popular music, the performers tie to historic black-transnational caricatures, from the \"tragic mulatto\" to Sapphire, Mammy, and Jezebel, and additional, non-white female performers, from Josephine Baker to Halle Berry, maneuvering within transnational popular culture industrial matrices and against white supremacist and hetero-patriarchal forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron E.
