This kind of cultural analysis is just my cup of tea. Thanks for the heads-up, RobertZ!

The author is Nicole R. Fleetwood, who also wrote Troubling Vision: Performance, Visuality, and Blackness. I love that book.

I will buy it!

I'll scan the flyer I have announcing the book; it includes 20% and free shipping off web orders. AND a great repro of the cover - Ms. Ross in her Afro and, indeed, giving FACE!
