Dr. Smith has based this talk around her upcoming book with @lsupress, titled "Race and a Politics of Respectability in Early Black Atlantic Literature".
On the impact of her 1st experience with #respectabilitypolitics: "It is part of my hard-wiring. That same kind of hard-wiring that makes black folks avoid driving through upscale neighborhoods with the music turned up loud...Or sit mute and passive when pulled over by the cops."
