“I was a devil in other countries, and I was a little devil in America, too.” Inspired by these words, spoken by Josephine Baker at the 1963 March on Washington, Hanif Abdurraqib has written a profound and lasting reflection on how Black performance is inextricably woven into the fabric of American culture. ⠀
⠀
With essays on Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Billy Dee Williams, the Wu-Tang Clan, Dave Chappelle, and more, nifmuhammad writes prose brimming with jubilation and pain, filled with sharp insight, humor, and heart. ⠀
⠀
Hanif Abdurraqib will join us on the Ten Evenings stage in April 2023. Single tickets (IRL and virtual!) are now available! ⠀
