"In her 1931 novella Mon Sang dans tes Veines (My Blood in Your Veins), recounted to and adapted by Felix de la Camara and Pepito Abatino, Josephine devises the character of Joan (also called Jo), a young mulatto girl whose mother is the maid in the home of a Boston millionaire, Ira Cushman Barclay, and his son, Fred. Joan selflessly saves Fred's life through a blood transfusion. The primal Baker and the new saintly image meld in Mon Sang dans tes Veines. Baker continued to develop this image as part of her humanitarian self-sacrifice in World War II and in the domestic experiment with her adopted Rainbow Tribe at Les Milandes." (Bennetta Jules-Rosette, "Josephine Baker in Art and Life: The Icon and the Image," p. 4)
