Understanding Blackness Through Performance: Contemporary Arts and the Representation of Identity

Here, the contributors look into representational practices in film, literature, fashion, and theatre and explore how they have fleshed out political struggles, while recognizing that they have sometimes maintained the mechanisms of violence against blacks.
