Description
"As lines between characters and actors--as well as observers and observed--blur, a dizzying series of vignettes builds to a climactic moment in which performance and reality collide, highlighting the absurdity of anti-Blackness in our society. Through facilitation and dialogue we must decide how to cope, resist, and move forward"--Page [4] of cover.
