Whether fumbling with a lamp in a satirical takedown of land acknowledgments or confronting the history of redface in pop culture, Hudson alternates between Rossi's cackling \"ghost of white privilege\" and more earnest, vulnerable confessionals as himself--all with a deep commitment to bitter humor and brutal honesty. In these performance works, a mixed-race Native boy plays a pilgrim in his kindergarten Thanksgiving pageant. A young artist recounts the racism in their favorite musical and the larger American theater system. A drag queen storytime goes disastrously wrong and calls for an exorcism with a plunger. Kate Bredeson's unflinching introduction speaks to Hudson's work through a cultural and historical lens and illuminates the importance of his project to filet the American Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798899480690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Anthony Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520327594239,"sku":"9798899480690","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ed86bf9-eda9-4543-8332-3a93362abaee.jpg?v=1778742101","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lamp-back-anthony-hudson-9798899480690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
