This volume highlights the role of power relations in the African American experience by applying key concepts of Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias to black literature and culture. The authors offer new readings of power asymmetries as represented in works of canonical and contemporary black writers (Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Gwendolyn Brooks, Toni Morrison, Percival Everett, Colson Whitehead), rap music (e.g., Jay Z), images of black homelessness, and figurations of political activism (civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, #BlackLivesMatter in Ferguson).Besprochen in:Begegnungszentrum für aktive Gewaltlosigkeit, Rundbrief, 1 (2018)American studies (Transcript (Firm)) ;Volume 17.Buschendorf (ed.), Power Relations in Black LivesReading African American Literature and Culture with Bourdieu and EliasRelational SociologyPierre BourdieuNorbert EliasSociology of LiteratureCultural SociologyPower RelationsRacismAfrican American LiteratureBlack CultureRap MusicPolitical ActivismHabitusFieldCapitalSymbolic ViolenceEstablished-Outsider RelationshipsPower AsymmetriesPower ImbalancesAmericaSocial RelationsAmerican StudiesSociological TheoryCultural StudiesLiterary StudiesRelational SociologyPierre BourdieuNorbert EliasSociology of LiteratureCultural SociologyPower RelationsRacismAfrican American LiteratureBlack CultureRap MusicPolitical ActivismHabitusFieldCapitalSymbolic ViolenceEstablished-Outsider RelationshipsPower AsymmetriesPower ImbalancesAmericaSocial RelationsAmerican StudiesSociological TheoryCultural StudiesLiterary Studies155.43HU 1728rvkBuschendorf Christa<p>Christa Buschendorf, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, Deutschland</p>edtKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2019: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910476929903321Power Relations in Black Lives2264618UNINA
