The time is the near future, and African American Airlines Flight 1619 has been chartered to take Black Americans “back to Africa.” Organizing the boarding process is Peaches, a flight agent in drag who is juggling the passengers’ excitement and reluctance, as well as her own. Presented in eight vignettes, Jordan E. Cooper’s Ain’t No Mo’ is both a satire and a serious investigation examining the ever-varying facets of the Black American experience: lives affected by violence, class tensions, the prison-industrial complex, and culture vultures.
