Bodies in Dissent: Spectacular Performances of Race and Freedom, 1850–1910 (Duke University Press, 2006) is Brooks’ major work on performance studies. The book seeks to explore the way black protagonists embody African American experiences as they assert subjectivity by resisting the racial institution and creating black identities through performance.

Brooks believes that black experience is shaped less by whites but by black radicalism. She ascribes black performance to a comprehensive understanding of black cultural production. In her book, Bodies in Dissent: Spectacular Performances of Race and Freedom, 1850–1910, Brooks describes how, in the performance of The escape, A leap for freedom, the black protagonist William Wells Brown performs acts that both figuratively and explicitly resists the repressive institution. As the performing body embodies black radicalism itself, performance studies to Brooks is a significant way of understanding black cultural production.

Brooks describes Brown’s performance of his “traveling entrapment” in the box as “a metaphor of physical resistance to the antebellum period’s rigorous literal and figurative colonization of black bodies”. “Literal colonization” is the institution’s enslavement of Brown’s body and “figurative colonization” is its simultaneous deprivation of his subjectivity. Brown begins to undergo his “self-making” process when the inevitable enslavement of his family evoked his desire for liberation and self-determination.
