Product Details

Praise

“Invaluable. . . . Absorbing. . . . Dazzling.” —The New York Times

“Deeply moving. . . . Dazzling stagecraft meets dazzling spectacle. . . . Magnificent. . . . Wonderful.” —Newsday

“Moving. . . . Smith is an effective and supremely talented conduit.” —Los Angeles Times

“Anna Deavere Smith has created one of her most ambitious and powerful works on how matters of race continue to divide and enslave the nation.” —Variety

“Devastating. . . . Astonishing. . . . Unquestionably great theater.” —Vulture

“Brilliant. . . . Anna Deavere Smith may be the most empathetic person in America.” —HuffPost

“[A] masterpiece. . . . Smith’s powerful style of living journalism uses the collective, cathartic nature of the theater to move us from despair toward hope.” —The Village Voice

“Urgently timely. . . . Audacious and mind-opening.” —Time Out New York

“This is captivating political theatre, a devastating document of racial inequality and the most rousing of rallying calls. Everyone should watch it.” —The Guardian

“A tour de force. . . . A coruscating indictment of the school-to-prison pipeline.” —Financial Times

“Stirring. . . . Powerful. . . . The scope is almost Shakespearean: the voices range from policy professionals to people on the street. If there’s an overarching thrust . . . it lies in the suggestion that the struggle for civil rights is ongoing: the legacy of segregation, its trauma too, endures and reasserts itself.” —The Telegraph (London)
