A Real Negro Girl

A Real Negro Girl explores the life and career of performing artist, writer, and civil and human rights activist Fredi Washington. Although Washington is largely unknown today, during the early decades of the twentieth century, she was a movie star who was a household name in the black community and well-known in mainstream America and abroad.

Body Impossible

Body Impossible theorizes the concept of virtuosity in contemporary dance and performance through a study of the career of dancer Desmond Richardson. Focusing on Richardson's creative insistence on improvisatory fun and excellence throughout the decades approaching the millennium (shaped by Reaganism, the Culture Wars, the AIDS epidemic, the New Jim Crow, and MTV), this book brings dance into conversation with paradigms of blackness, queerness, masculinity, and class in order to generate a socio-culturally attentive understanding of virtuosity.
