Focusing on the performative nature of race, particularly blackness, this book critically explores its sustainability through various lenses, including White Studies, art representations of African American culture, and educational contexts. It addresses the complexities of race relations by examining dramatic and film portrayals, as well as the intersections of race and gender performance. Employing diverse methodological approaches, notably performance studies and autoethnography, the work delves into the challenges and implications surrounding the concept of race in contemporary society.
