Re: “Porgy and Bess' Race Problem”
I'm afraid from a disability perspective--"Porgy and Bess" is obviously about race, but also disability--this new Porgy represents a less dignified disabled man ashamed of his disability status and willing to pretend to be something he is not, able-bodied. Porgy is one of the great, unsung disability heroes. It is sad to see him reduced to using ill-adapted mobility aids and denying his disability pride.
