Preaching the Blues: Black Feminist Performance in Lynching Plays
examines several lynching plays to foreground black women's
performances as non-normative subjects who challenge white
supremacist ideology. Maisha S. Akbar re-maps the study of lynching
drama by examining plays that are contingent upon race-based
settings in black households versus white households. She also
discusses performances of lynching plays at Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the South and reviews lynching
plays closely tied to black school campuses. By focusing on current
examples and impacts of lynching plays in the public sphere, this
book grounds this historical form of theatre in the present day
with depth and relevance. Of interest to scholars and students of
both general Theatre and Performance Studies, and of African
American Theatre and Drama, Preaching the Blues foregrounds the
importance of black feminist artists in lynching culture and
interdisciplinary scholarship.
