Winner, 2019 ATHE Outstanding Book Award, given by the Association
for Theatre in Higher Education Winner, 2018 Errol Hill Award in
African American theater, drama, and/or performance studies,
presented by the American Society for Theatre Research A new
manifesto for performance studies on the art of queer of color
worldmaking. After the Party tells the stories of minoritarian
artists who mobilize performance to produce freedom and sustain
life in the face of subordination, exploitation, and annihilation.
Through the exemplary work of Nina Simone, Jorge Ignacio Cortinas,
Danh Vo, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Eiko, and Tseng Kwong Chi, and with
additional appearances by Nao Bustamante, Audre Lorde, Martin Wong,
Assata Shakur, and Nona Faustine, After the Party considers
performance as it is produced within and against overlapping
histories of US colonialism, white supremacy, and heteropatriarchy.
Building upon the thought of Jose Esteban Munoz alongside prominent
scholarship in queer of color critique, black studies, and Marxist
aesthetic criticism, Joshua Chambers-Letson maps a portrait of
performance's capacity to produce what he calls a communism of
incommensurability, a practice of being together in difference.
Describing performance as a rehearsal for new ways of living
together, After the Party moves between slavery, the Civil Rights
Movement, the first wave of the AIDS crisis, the Vietnam War, and
the catastrophe-riddled horizon of the early twenty-first century
to consider this worldmaking practice as it is born of the tension
between freedom and its negation. With urgency and pathos,
Chambers-Letson argues that it is through minoritarian performance
that we keep our dead alive and with us as we struggle to survive
an increasingly precarious present.
