| dc.description.abstract |
In this essay, I begin with what I thought was a simple thesis statement, and investigate my assumptions about race, culture, and identity in the context of slam poetry. I engage critically with slam poetry as a genre and as a cultural event, while probing my assumptions with a combination of psychology and literary theory. In the end, I realize that my original goal was impossible given the language I was operating in, and posit that a new language is needed to explore these complex issues. |
