Paris in the 1920s was a city highly receptive to African-American music and dance, so much so that the decade is often called ‘The Jazz Age’. Why
did black performers flock to Paris during this period? Why were Parisians so receptive to their art? What cultural work was being done in this
encounter between Parisian audiences and performers like Josephine Baker in terms of race and gender?

1. Clips of Josephine Baker in Paris
