Michelle Ann Stephens verdiept zich in de complexe kruispunten van ras, psychoanalyse en de zwarte mannelijke performer. Haar academische werk onderzoekt kritisch het mannelijke globale imaginarium van Caribische intellectuelen in de Verenigde Staten. Stephens analyseert hoe deze ideeën werden gevormd en op hun beurt een cruciale historische periode vormden. Haar aanpak biedt een diepgaande lens op de wisselwerking tussen culturele identiteit en artistieke expressie.
