African American Artists Performing for the Camera After 1970
This study demonstrates how African American artists active since the 1970s have instrumentalized performance for the camera to intervene in existing representations of Black and Brown people in America and beyond. Majewska argues that producing carefully designed photographs, films, and videos via performance became a key strategy for dismantling the conceptions of race and gender fixed by US popular culture, jurisprudence, and pseudoscience. Studying the work of Adrian Piper, Glenn Ligon, Lyle Ashton Harris, Senga Nengudi, Maren Hassinger, Howardena Pindell, David Hammons, and Pope.L, this book examines the ways in which these artists incorporate their bodies and personal experience into their respective performances, simultaneously courting and foreclosing autobiographical readings. The strategies examined here, while diverse, all challenge conventional interpretations of performance art—especially those overdetermined by race, gender, and sexuality. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, performance studies, photography, and African American studies.
Transition 114
Published three times per year by Indiana University Press for the Hutchins Center at Harvard University, Transition is a unique forum for the freshest, most compelling ideas from and about the black world. Since its founding in Uganda in 1961, the magazine has kept apace of the rapid transformation of the African Diaspora and has remained a leading forum of intellectual debate. This issue of Transition—"Gay Nigeria"—pays tribute to those who "agitate the establishment." Gay Nigeria grapples with anti-gay sentiment in Africa through the case-in-point of Nigeria's recent Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, and the global backlash against it. Ayo Sogunro, Rudolf Pell Gaudio, and Davis Mac-I...

The Cadet Sergeant Major
Fraternisation was strictly forbidden by the Cadet Policy Manual. As the Company Sergeant Major, one of Graham Kirk's main duties was discipline – especially fraternisation. While he knew the real supervision was the responsibility of the adult Officers of Cadets, he also had a key role to play. The problem was: could he trust them? Follow the story of an army cadet camp and how Graham and his friends cope with the unexpected problems that beset them. For cadets and ex-cadets the detail will inform and provide nostalgic flashbacks. Because this is a story about teenagers, and particularly teenage relationships, there are some sexual references and coarse language. This book is written for young adults and is not suitable for Primary School children.
