In Search of Paul Robeson
Once described as the 'best-known American in the world', Paul Robeson has been largely forgotten since his death in 1975. But during his lifetime he captivated audiences as a singer, actor and globetrotting political activist. The Australian author Jeff Sparrow has traced his many talents in a new biography called "No Way But This: In Search of Paul Robeson".
