505 0  Introduction -- The color line is always moving: Aida 
       Overton Walker -- Transnational technologies of 
       orientalism: Loïe Fuller's invented repertoires -- Voices 
       within the voice: aural passing and Libby Holman's 
       deracinated/reracinated sound -- "Much too busy to die": 
       Josephine Baker's diva iconicity -- Conclusion: diva 
       remains. 
520    Offering innovative theorizations of performance, 
       reception, and affect, Moving Performances introduces 
       readers to four remarkable divas from the early twentieth 
       century-Aida Overton Walker, Loïe Fuller, Libby Holman, 
       and Josephine Baker-who worked as both cultural producers 
       and critics, deftly subverting the tropes of exoticism, 
       orientalism, and primitivism commonly used to dismiss 
       women of color. Scheper rejects iconic depictions of these
       divas as frozen in a past moment, and vividly demonstrates
       how their performances continue to inspire ongoing 
       movements.
