I say I love my people and mean there is a language that is only ours, and within that language there is shelter. But when I speak that language in the world, I know how eager the world might be to bend it to its own desires. From breakout writer and peerless new voice Hanif Abdurraqib, comes a soaring and heartfelt examination of black performance in America, in which race, history, culture, entertainment, and lived experience collide.
