Naila Keleta-Mae proposes that performance is part of the ontology of female blackness in the public and private spaces that constitute everyday life because people who are female and Black are constantly expected to perform fantasies--be it their own or, far more commonly, those insisted on by dominant culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e By exploring Black expressive culture in familial, literary, and performance settings, the author demonstrates how people who are read as female and Black in private and public settings, are figuratively on stage regardless of the cultural, political, or historical contexts in which they find themselves. Written in poetry, prose and journal-form and drawing from the author's own life and artistic works, \u003ci\u003ePerforming Female Blackness\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for scholars, educators, and students of race, gender, performance, and Black expressive culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naila Keleta-Mae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771124806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771124805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Naila Keleta-Mae","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983151038719,"sku":"9781771124805","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b872f0bf-9ae6-4de5-92b9-2a7662c7a1bb.jpg?v=1683264961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performing-female-blackness-naila-keleta-mae-9781771124805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
