Postmodern Minstrel

2001 • Directed by

Karen Miranda Augustine

Featuring dubbz/poet/at/large Clifton Joseph, "Postmodern Minstrel" uses the pontifical diatribe of Joseph's "Reverend Swami" and his church of "conscious" slickness to illustrate the regressive race, class and gender stereotypes celebrated within the talk-show circuit -- specifically that of Jerry Springer.
