Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
A stellar cast reflecting upon the definitions and diversities of black popular culture, the differences within the black community, and between the Americas and Britain; also upon the problems of a *stellar* cast reflecting upon *popular* culture. The range is impressive and the discussions are real debates, between generations, genders, and political styles. -- Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, author of "In Other Worlds : Essays in Cultural Politics"
These essays come, smoking, straight out of a unique sense of inquiry--today's best black minds talking about the future of everyday culture. -- Andrew Ross, author of "The Chicago Gangster Theory of Life"
This amalgam of enraged opinion, more than any other book I know, captures the spirit of black intellectual debate today. For those new to the debate, this collection introduces the major voices of African-American social commentary; for those enmeshed in it already, this comprehensive anthology is an invaluable prism of contestation, testament, theory, critique, and cultural consensus. -- Patricia J. Williams, author of "The Alchemy of Race and Rights" --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
