Margo Natalie Crawford is an associate professor of English at Cornell University.
"Black Post-Blackness moves rigorously with and against the grain
of the most important work in black studies and performance
studies, thereby joining it. In showing how blackness is
unexhausted by the question of identity, Margo Natalie Crawford
keeps its study on new, constantly renewed, persistently renewable
footing."--Fred Moten, author of In the Break: The Aesthetics of
the Black Radical Tradition "An original and very important
contribution to African American Studies, American literature, and
African American thought. Eloquent, exciting to read, as energetic
as its subject matter."--Farah Jasmine Griffin, author of Harlem
Nocturne: Women Artists and Progressive Politics During World War
II "In our putatively post-racial America, nothing can bring race
racing back more quickly than a discussion of post-blackness. 'Your
post-black ain't like mine' isn't the title of any song, but
perhaps should be. Margo Crawford coins the term, then assays the
coinage. With a deep, scholarly assurance, she revisits
misunderstood moments of the Black Aesthetic Movement, limning a
poetics of anticipation that tells us so much about our
present."--Aldon Lynn Nielsen, author of Integral Music: Languages
of African American Innovation
"Margo Natalie Crawford's titular concept in Black Post-Blackness:
The Black Arts Movement and Twenty-First-Century Aesthetics is
oceanic: it is multifaceted and much encompassing." --CAA Reviews
"Highly recommended."--Choice "The book itself reads as a
thoughtfully conceived and researched love letter to the BAM that
looks hopefully to the possibilities of a relationship with black
post-blackness in our contemporary moment." --MELUS "Margo Natalie
