Date: Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Time: 4:30 pm
Location: Clinton Seminar Room, Carl A. Fields Center

This paper considers the politics and poetics of post-Civil Rights popular music culture through an examination of the work of neo-soul singer, songwriter and producer Lauryn Hill. It examines the lasting impact of Hill’s one full-length studio album (The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill) on popular music culture in order to think specifically about the ways in which that album and Hill's distinct live performance aesthetics have re-imagined the gendered politics of soul music culture and racialized socio-political affect in relation to the post-Civil Rights black public sphere.
