Collaborative Spirit-Writing and Performance in Everyday Black
Lives is about the interconnectedness between collaboration,
spirit, and writing. It is also about a dialogic engagement that
draws upon shared lived experiences, hopes, and fears of two Black
persons: male/female, straight/gay. This book is structured around
a series of textual performances, poems, plays, dialogues, calls
and responses, and mediations that serve as claim, ground, warrant,
qualifier, rebuttal, and backing in an argument about collaborative
spirit-writing for social justice. Each entry provides evidence of
encounters of possibility, collated between the authors, for
ourselves, for readers, and society from a standpoint of individual
and collective struggle. The entries in this Black performance
diary are at times independent and interdependent, interspliced and
interrogative, interanimating and interstitial. They build
arguments about collaboration but always emanate from a place of
discontent in a caste system, designed through slavery and
maintained until today, that positions Black people in relation to
white superiority, terror, and perpetual struggle. With particular
emphasis on the confluence of Race, Racism, Antiracism, Black Lives
Matter, the Trump administration, and the Coronavirus pandemic,
this book will appeal to students and scholars in Race studies,
performance studies, and those who practice qualitative methods as
a new way of seeking Black social justice.
