Panelists discuss the book's unique format and its political and historical commentary.

• John Keene, Associate Professor, Departments of English and African American Studies, Rutgers-Newark
• Phillip Brian Harper, Erich Maria Remarque Professor of Literature and Professor of Social & Cultural Analysis, New York University
• Sonya Posmentier, Assistant Professor of English, New York University
