711: DEBRA DICKERSON: The Self-Appointed Spokesperson: Bearing Witness or Carpetbagging?
Given the world’s newfound interest in first person accounts from “exotic” minorities and cultures, how does an individual know whether she is testifying as an artist or merely commodifying her personal (and her group’s) “experiences” for personal gain? Dickerson is author of the memoir An American Story and, most recently, The End of Blackness.
