Description: Fantasies of Nina Simone by Jordan Alexander Stein Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Jordan Alexander Stein uses an archive of Nina Simones performances, images, and writings to think through the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, Civil Rights activist, and icon and her own fantasies about herself. Publisher Description Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has been the subject of an astonishing number of rereleased, remastered, and remixed albums and compilations as well as biographies, films, viral memes, samples, and soundtracks. In Fantasies of Nina Simone, Jordan Alexander Stein uses an archive of Simones performances, images, and writings to examine the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, civil rights activist, and icon, and her own fantasies about herself. Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simones four-decade genre-bending career—from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae—and at her works many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.
