7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
In Conversation: Malik Gaines
and Tavia Nyong’o
Malik Gaines’s recent book, Black
Performance on the Outskirts of the
Left, articulates the role that black
theatricality played in the radical
energy of the sixties. It follows the
evolution of black identity politics to
reveal blackness’s ability to transform
contemporary social conditions.
Gaines’s conversation with Tavia
Nyong’o, Professor of African
American Studies, American Studies,
and Theater Studies at Yale University,
will be followed by a book signing.
