Alexander (communication, liberal studies and theater studies, California State U., Los Angeles) considers the African American male experience in a number of settings, building a theory of Black masculine identity through auto-ethnography and performance. In a series of six essays he delineates the curious positioning of the spectator (in this case, of another culture) who becomes the spectacle, the case of Black identity in the academe, the concept of "passing" within cultural performance and individual agency as a function of identity, the added dimension of performing in drag and its ramifications for feminist pedagogy, an interpretive ethnography of the Black barbershop and salon as cultural space, and a fascinating analysis of the eulogy as a constitutive public memory.
