Drawing from his own childhood\, Solis says that he wrote these stories “to see how that skinny brown kid riding his bike out there in the desert made sense of his complicated\, deeply beautiful and troubled world.” Octaviosolis.net \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n“A retablo is a devotional painting\, playwright Octavio Solis tells us. In this poignantly written\, heart-warming coming-of-age memoir\, Solis pays tribute to those cornerstone moments in his life\, negotiating borders at once personal and cultural\, with such color that the reader is left spellbound. Astonishing\, what more can I say?”\n—Greg Sarris\, author of How a Mountain Was Made and longtime Word for Word friend \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Evening with Octavio Solis\nJoin us on February 27.

SUMMARY:Shana Redmond
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of her new book \nEverything Man: The Form and Function of Paul Robeson \nfrom Duke University Press \nFrom his cavernous voice and unparalleled artistry to his fearless struggle for human rights\, Paul Robeson was one of the twentieth century’s greatest icons and polymaths. In Everything Man Shana L. Redmond traces Robeson’s continuing cultural resonances in popular culture and politics. She follows his appearance throughout the twentieth century in the forms of sonic and visual vibration and holography; theater\, art\, and play; and the physical environment. Redmond thereby creates an imaginative cartography in which Robeson remains present and accountable to all those he inspired and defended. With her bold and unique theorization of antiphonal life\, Redmond charts the possibility of continued communication\, care\, and collectivity with those who are dead but never gone. \nShana L. Redmond is Professor of Musicology and African American Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles. She is coeditor of Critical Ethnic Studies: A Reader\, also published by Duke University Press\, and author of Anthem: Social Movements and the Sound of Solidarity in the African Diaspora. \nPraise for Everything Man \n\n\n“Formally challenging and beautifully conceived\, Everything Man is a model for scholarship and thinking as well as a powerful addition to the body of work on Paul Robeson\, freedom movements\, sound studies\, music\, and beyond. It will make a tremendous impact.” — Christina Sharpe\, author of In the Wake \n“Shana Redmond’s ingenious reframing of Paul Robeson as Afrofuturist media artist is but one quality marking Everything Man as a milestone contribution to Robeson scholarship. Redmond compels readers to reconsider Robeson as a radical modernist—one whose innovative embrace of electronic media technology (film\, sound recording\, telegraph) transforms our understanding of him from remote Black Communist icon to protean\, creative contemporary. In lucid and evocative prose Redmond narrates how Robeson democratized sonic and visual modernity while engaged in anticapitalist justice work. Redmond illuminates the afterlife of Robeson’s voice and presence too—his appearances in postmodern art practices and the many places Robeson’s footpaths took Redmond where she discovered he was still revered by the far-flung descendants of the man’s midcentury comrades and congregants.” — Greg Tate\, author of Flyboy 2li
