A National Book Award finalist, A Little Devil in America: In Praise of Black Performance is a genre-defying collection of essays that explores the richness, complexity, and cultural significance of Black performance in America. With deep insight and lyrical prose, Hanif Abdurraqib reflects on iconic moments, touching on figures like Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle, the Wu-Tang Clan, and Dave Chappelle, while also recalling scenes from his own life. Each essay explores how Black artistry, expression, and presence have influenced and resisted the forces of history, racism, and popular culture.
