An assistant professor of theatre, Black studies, and performance studies at Northwestern University, Danielle Bainbridge is also the author of Dandelion: A Memoir in Essays, which came out last year. Her new work is Currencies of Cruelty: Slavery, Freak Shows, and the Performance Archive, in which, says Joseph Roach, she “gives voice to a chorus of those who are all too easily misremembered. To listen to her is to hear them.” Bainbridge discussed the book with Sullivan Summer in April.
