This book features new plays by Lisa B.
Thompson , author of Single Black Female .
In these three plays, the black feminist playwright and scholar thoughtfully explores themes such as the black family, motherhood, migration, racial violence, and trauma and its effect on black people from the early twentieth century to the present.
The works showcase Thompson's subversive humor and engagement with black history and culture through the lens of the black middle class.
