A sequel to the 2004 release, starstruck: American Plague, Dulaney once again invites readers into a thought-provoking story that challenges social norms and prompts self-reflection. The book is presented as a book-length open letter to R. Kelly, and rather than providing an in-depth analysis of the high-profile cases, it instead focuses on the ways in which these types of incidents contribute to the rise. It delves into a wide range of cultural elements.
“I learned about R. Kelly’s problematic public persona through the trial and the media, but he intentionally stayed out of the conversation so people could voice their opinions. After the trial, R. Now that Kelly is in prison, that will be the case.” “It’s a travesty for people to believe that the boogeyman has been captured and women are now safe, without examining the role of culture and individuals in enabling R. Kelly.” That’s the wrong decision for us,” Dulaney said.
This and that This is not just a literary work. It is a manifesto for change. The book embraces Sankofa’s concepts and encourages readers to look back to the past in order to shape a safer and more just future. This story takes readers on a journey through the complex labyrinth of celebrity culture, uncovering the complex layers surrounding issues such as abuse, gender equality, religion, and mental health.
The book’s unique approach is shaped by Dulaney and R. Kelly’s friendship spanning more than 30 years. It combines her personal experiences with critical analysis based on her expertise in African American studies, trauma, creative production, identity construction, and education. Dulaney’s writing is more than a cautionary tale. This is a call to action, urging readers to confront the cultural elements that enable abuse.
This and that: An open letter to robert kelly is a continuation of Dulaney’s literary journey and a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about accountability. This is a testament to her multifaceted career, including groundbreaking work across multiple industries and storytelling through a variety of mediums.
