The self-described queer Black troublemaker and Black feminist love evangelist, Alexis Pauline Gumbs joins Mark Anthony Neal in the Left of Black Studio to discuss her new book

Spill: Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity (Duke University Press). In part a homage to Black feminist theorist Hortense Spillers, “Gumbs offers an alternative approach to Black feminist literary criticism, historiography, and the interactive practice of relating to the words of Black feminist thinkers.” Gumbs is coeditor of Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines and the Founder and Director of Eternal Summer of the Black Feminist Mind, an educational program based in Durham, North Carolina.
