520    "A Little Devil in America is an urgent project that 
       unravels all modes and methods of black performance, in 
       this moment when black performers are coming to terms with
       their value, reception, and immense impact on America. 
       With sharp insight, humor, and heart, Abdurraqib examines 
       how black performance happens in specific moments in time 
       and space--midcentury Paris, the moon, or a cramped living
       room in Columbus, Ohio. At the outset of this project, 
       Abdurraqib became fascinated with clips of black minstrel 
       entertainers like William Henry Lane, better known as 
       Master Juba. Knowing there was something more complicated 
       and deep-seated in the history and legacy of minstrelsy, 
       Abdurraqib uncovered questions and tensions that help to 
       reveal how black performance pervades all areas of 
       American society. Abdurraqib's prose is entrancing and 
       fluid as he leads us along the links in his remarkable 
       trains of thought. A Little Devil in America considers, 
       critiques, and praises performance in music, sports, 
       writing, comedy, grief, games, and love"--|cProvided by
