Talk Title: Philippa Schuyler’s Adventures in Black and White

In the 1950s and 1960s, at the peak of her fame, American pianist Philippa Schuyler performed in concert venues around the world. Her journeys were regularly chronicled in African-American newspapers and mainstream outlets, and became the subject of her travel memoir, Adventures in Black and White. The title played on her mixed-race identity and gestured toward her observations on race in different geographic contexts. This talk will retrace some of Schuyler’s steps and reflect on how they shaped her unique world view.
