'Black Performance on the Outskirts of the Left' illustrates the black political ideas that radicalized the artistic endeavours of musicians, playwrights, and actors beginning in the 1960s. These ideas paved the way for imaginative models for social transformation through performance. Using the notion of excess - its transgression, multiplicity, and ambivalence - Malik Gaines considers how performances of that era circulated a black political discourse capable of unsettling commonplace understandings of race, gender, and sexuality.
