Reviews

""Brilliantly walks readers through a history and legacy of Black virality. Beginning with a deep reading of performance studies theory and literature, the author situates our present moment contextually, unpacking the importance of the viral sound and image on our understanding of and relationships to Blackness.""--Catherine Knight Steele, author of Digital Black Feminism
