- Authors
Smalls, Shanté Paradigm
- Abstract
The article deals with Black dance traditions as sites of protests against Black death in the U.S. Topics include a discussion of a recorded voguing dance performed by gender-nonconforming African American femme Kiyán Williams at a protest at Union Square in New York City in 2015 against the murder of Baltimore resident Freddie Gray while in police custody and the implications of this dance on the trajectory of Black social death, especially trans and genderqueer death and abjection.
