Summary Challenging the widely accepted idea that Broadway was the white-hot creative engine of U.S. theater during the early twentieth century, author Katie Johnson reveals a far more complex system of exchanges between the Broadway establishment and a vibrant Black theater scene in New York and beyond to chart a new history of American and transnational theater.
