A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance by Hanif Abdurraqib

5.0

Hanif is a true gift. I am so grateful to be alive in a time that I get to read this person's work and take a glimpse into their mind. I read this twice in 2021 (easily one of my favorites of the year) once on audio and once on the page -- both are outstanding. It is generous, personal, poetic and just extraordinary. Get ready to expand your mind and spirit through music, dance, and performance (the literal and metaphoric) in celebration and in the uplift of Blackness and all its magic.
