STROUM LECTURES 2023 Lecture 2. Between Me and the Other World: A Tikkun

Animated by the writings of African American sociologist and historian W.E.B. DuBois (1868-1963) and British Jewish author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926), Between Me and the Other World is an immersive musical collaboration between Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell and accordionist Dmitri Gaskin that explores W.E.B. DuBois’ provocative question, “How does it feel to be a problem?” refracted through the texts and musical idioms of the African American South and Jewish Eastern Europe.

Following the performance, Barbara Henry, Associate Professor of Slavic Languages and Literature, will moderate a Q&A session with the audience.
