Whether fumbling with a lamp in a satirical takedown of land acknowledgments or confronting the history of redface in pop culture, Hudson alternates between Rossi's cackling \"ghost of white privilege\" and more earnest, vulnerable confessionals as himself--all with a deep commitment to bitter humor and brutal honesty. In these performance works, a mixed-race Native boy plays a pilgrim in his kindergarten Thanksgiving pageant. A young artist recounts the racism in their favorite musical and the larger American theater system. A drag queen storytime goes disastrously wrong and calls for an exorcism with a plunger. Kate Bredeson's unflinching introduction speaks to Hudson's work through a cultural and historical lens and illuminates the importance of his project to filet the American Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthony Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67744766492899,"sku":"9798899480690","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/7390\/6371\/files\/lamp-back.jpg?v=1792445273","url":"https:\/\/birchbarkbooks.com\/products\/lamp-back","provider":"Birchbark Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
