2025 TAA Conference Bookstore Featured Book: ‘A View From the Balcony: Opera Through Womanist Eyes’

Performative voices of scholars of color present the balcony, opera performances, and opera glasses as signifiers of the origins and entrenchment of racism in the United States. A View From the Balcony: Opera Through Womanist Eyes by Jean Derricotte-Murphy, metaphorically seats readers in theater and societal balconies while glimpsing into and correcting the harmful historical, philosophical, and religious underpinnings of American systemic racism.
