Donald Glover’s FX television show, Atlanta, which premiered in 2016, proved both a critical success and an unprecedented artistic representation of the city and its denizens. The city depicted in the show is at once realistic and absurdist, sprawling and intimate. This roundtable brings together a group of scholars with a diverse range of relationships to the city—native Atlantans, former residents, transplants from elsewhere (like so many Atlantans)—to consider the show’s representations and negotiations of race, gender, place, music, genre, and form.
