Masterfully blending biography! archival history! performance theory! and phenomenology! Young centres selected artistic and athletic performances as lenses through which to gain access to the lived experiences of a variety of individuals. Zusammenfassung How the history of the diasporic black body in American art, athleticism, and performance resonates in daily life
