In an important contribution to African American film and performance history, Stephanie Batiste looks back at African American stage and screen productions of the 1930s.

Speaking Out of Turn is the first monograph dedicated to the forty-year oeuvre of feminist conceptual artist Lorraine O’Grady. Examining O’Grady’s use of language, both written and spoken, Stephanie Sparling Williams charts the artist’s strategic use of direct address—the dialectic posture her art takes in relationship to its viewers—to trouble the field of vision and claim a voice in the late 1970s through the 1990s, when her voice was seen as “out of turn” in the art world. Speaking Out of Turn situates O’Grady’s significant contributions within the history of American conceptualism and performance art while also attending to the work’s heightened visibility in the contemporary moment, revealing both the marginalization of O’Grady in the past and an urgent need to revisit her art in the present.

Life hands each and every one of us a deck of cards, never knowing exactly what is coming our way. We begin to experience life, taking it by storm, until something doesn't go as we planned or an unexpected event occurs. In some way, shape, or form we get through it. In the midst, we have no idea the impact it will play in our lives and who we become. We question why things happens and seek answers. There is one thing for sure....there are no mistakes in our GOD given blueprints. We were known before we were born and HE knows exactly where we are going. In this book, Dr. Iglesias walks us through real life experiences of Gods glorious work of mercy, grace, and purpose.But God....Won't HE do itPhilippians 4:13I can do all things through Christ whom strengthens me.
