Has anyone seen Tha Homie Kev?
Tha Homie Kev is PAGES’ resident skeptic and is a doctoral candidate in English at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Kev’s scholarship focuses on 19th and 20th century African American literature and culture and connects slave narratives and prison literature along a continuum of Black Americans writing from the “front lines.” Along these lines, his work speaks to concerns around Black masculinity, Black male sexualities, class, citizenship, and the law.
