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.

The thriller Underground explores the challenges of radical black politics among the black middle class in the post-Obama era. Monroe, a period drama about the Great Migration, depicts the impact of a lynching on a family and community in 1940s Louisiana. The Mamalogues, a satirical comedy, focuses on three middle-class black single mothers as they lean in, stress out, and guide precocious black children from diapers to college in a dangerous world. This collection will be compelling to readers interested in African American studies; drama, theater, and performance; feminist and gender studies; popular culture and media studies; and American studies.

Leave your skin looking radiant!
I’ve been using the Vaseline Illuminate Me Body Butter & Oil, and overall I really like it—it feels like a simple but effective everyday glow product. The first thing I noticed is how soft and lightweight the body butter is. It melts into the skin easily without feeling heavy or greasy, and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and well moisturized. The hydration is definitely noticeable, especially on dry areas like elbows and legs. I also love the subtle glow it gives. It’s not glittery or over-the-top—it’s more of a natural, healthy-looking sheen that makes your skin look radiant and refreshed. The body oil adds a nice finishing touch if you want a bit more shine, especially for nights out or warmer weather. The scent is light and clean, which I appreciate because it doesn’t overpower perfumes or other body care products. It just gives that fresh, “put together” feeling after applying. Another thing I like is that it layers well. You can use the butter alone for everyday moisture or pair it with the oil for a more luminous, highlighted look. Overall, this is a great body care duo if you want hydration plus a soft glow. It’s not overly fancy, but it does exactly what it promises and leaves your skin looking healthy, smooth, and radiant.

I love this set.
The cream smells warm and comforting. I’ve received compliments on how I smell while wearing it. I apply it all over after showering and my skin stays smooth and hydrated all day. The oil is great as well. I apply it on top of the cream before dressing. Unlike other oils, this actually absorbs into my skin and leaves me looking beautiful with a sheen. It’s more like a serum than an oil. Most oils sit on top of the skin and look oily and feel greasy. I would highly recommend both of these for hydrated, healthy looking skin.

This is a great duo
This set is amazing!... It smells amazing, it is so moisturizing and smooth on the skin. I love the subtle shimmer it leaves on the skin. I will say that, based on the climate or weather differences, you can feel the difference. For example, in Las Vegas, this sinks right into the dry skin and leaves you feeling well hydrated on your skin. When I'm in places like FL, the high humidity can leave this product feeling a little over-hydrating and the skin a little "tacky," but this is truly a person by person try it and find out for yourself. Either way, I love it and highly would suggest this for anyone that loves a good shimmer (light but hits great in the sun) and high moisturizing properties
