Performative Intergenerational Dialogues of a Black Quartet
promotes the importance of intergenerational Black dialogue as a
collaborative spirit-making across race, genders, sexualities, and
cultures to bridge time and space. The authors enter this dialogue
in a crisis moment: a crisis moment at the confluence of a
pandemic, the national political transition of leadership in the
United States, the necessary rise of Black, Indigenous, and People
of Color activism-in the face of the continued murders of unarmed
Black and queer people by police. And as each author mourns the
loss of loved ones who have left us through illness, the contiguity
of time, or murder, we all hold tight to each other and to memory
as an act of keeping them alive in our hearts and actions,
remembrance as an act of resistance so that the circle will be
unbroken. But they also come together in the spirit of hope, the
hope that bleeds the borders between generations of Black
teacher-artist-scholars, the hope that we find in each other's joy
and laughter, and the hope that comes when we hear both stories of
struggle and strife and stories of celebration and smile that lead
to possibilities and potentialities of our collective being and
becoming-as a people. So, the authors offer stories of witness,
resistance, and gettin' ovah, stories that serve as a road map from
Black history and heritage to a Black futurity that is mythic and
imagined but that can also be actualized and embodied, now. This
book will be of interest to scholars, students, and activists in a
wide range of disciplines across the social sciences and
performance studies.
