The contributors to Race and Performance after Repetition explore
how theater and performance studies account for the complex
relationship between race and time. Pointing out that repetition
has been the primary point of reference for understanding both the
complex temporality of theater and the historical persistence of
race, they identify and pursue critical alternatives to the
conceptualization, organization, measurement, and politics of race
in performance. The contributors examine theater, performance art,
music, sports, dance, photography, and other forms of performance
in topics that range from the movement of boxer Joe Louis to George
C. Wolfe's 2016 reimagining of the 1921 all-black musical comedy
Shuffle Along to the relationship between dance, mourning, and
black adolescence in Flying Lotus's music video "Never Catch Me."
Proposing a spectrum of coexisting racial temporalities that are
not tethered to repetition, this collection reconsiders central
theories in performance studies in order to find new understandings
of race. Contributors. Joshua Chambers-Letson, Soyica Diggs
Colbert, Nicholas Fesette, Patricia Herrera, Jasmine Elizabeth
Johnson, Douglas A. Jones Jr., Mario LaMothe, Daphne P. Lei, Jisha
Menon, Tavia Nyong'o, Tina Post, Elizabeth W. Son, Shane Vogel,
Catherine M. Young, Katherine Zien
