Description: More a philosophical crafting of body and race, "Dust: murmers and a play" provides a course of recognition that is equal parts critical, performative, and personal, in the years following 9-11. The piercing critical essays are anchored by the play "Dust," an imaginative chronicling of how two war-weary women, one African-American, the other Afghani, survive political betrayals. In linked accord, these creative examinations speak passionately to issues that reflect our complicated epoch of terror, globalism, love and healing.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-6).
