Shana L. Redmond, the Director of the Center for the Study of Social Difference and Professor of English and Comparative Literature and the Center for the Study of Ethnicity & Race, was part of a small group of scholars and artists who contributed annotations to the screenplay of Jordan Peele's Us, recently published on Inventory Press.
A masterpiece of identity horror and a dark reflection on America’s past and present, this companion paperback to the critically-acclaimed film Us features Oscar®-winning director Jordan Peele’s screenplay illustrated with over 150 stills from the motion picture; deleted scenes; an introduction by the filmmaker; and in-depth annotations. These include texts by Professor Redmond, hannah baer, Theaster Gates, Jamieson Webster, Jared Sexton, Mary Ping, and Leila Taylor, alongside excerpts from Naomi Klein, Coleson Whitehead, Maggie Nelson, Carol J. Clover, Michael Harrington, and Paul Laurence Dunbar, and a constellation of images, definitions, and inspirations that extend the themes of the film.
Congratulations, Professor Redmond!
