WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? A Black Woman's Life and Liberation in Heavy Metal is a non-fiction book written by the Canadian journalist Laina Dawes.[1] First published in 2013, the book explores how black women musicians and fans navigate the metal, hardcore, and punk music genres[2] that are regularly thought of as inclusive spaces and centered on a community spirit, but fail to block out the race and gender issues that exist in the outside world. It features a foreword by Skin of Skunk Anansie.[3]
