Billie's Bent Elbow: Exorbitance, Intimacy, and a Nonsensuous Standard

Deeply informed by jazz, Billie's Bent Elbow explores the nonsensical in black radical thought and expression. Extending the encounter between black study, Frankfurt School critical theory, and Jazz as Critique, and, crucially, bringing Yoruba aesthetics into the conversation, Okiji attunes to various sites of intemperance in thought and music.
