Laina Dawes

Laina Dawes is as passionate about heavy metal as she is about her fellow black metal fans’ fascination with the genre. The music journalist, who appeared in NOW’s special Black History series this month (nowtoronto.com/news) explores the way sexism and racism can affect a niche market in her insightful and provocative new book What Are You Doing Here: A Black Woman’s Life And Liberation In Heavy Metal ($18.50, Bazillion Points). Dawes reads from the book today (Thursday, March 28) at Another Story Bookshop. See Readings.
