abstract="This article explores performances of slavery and the afterlife of slavery in drama of the 1960s and 1970s Black Arts Movement. I use Amiri Baraka's theory of &quot;atmos-feeling&quot; as a means of analysing the Black Arts Movement's undoing of the equation of the black body and the slave body. Through an analysis of a wide range of plays ( The Slave, Slave Ship, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf, and Funnyhouse of a Negro), I uncover the differences between the Black Arts Movement framing of slavery and twenty-first-century Afro-pessimism. © University of Toronto.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
