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 RustinBesprochen in: Begegnungszentrum für aktive Gewaltlosigkeit, Rundbrief, 1 (2018)American studies (Transcript (Firm)) ;Volume 17.Racism in literatureAfrican AmericansPolitics and governmentAfrican AmericansHistory and criticismMusicAfrican American Literature.America.American Studies.Black Culture.Capital.Cultural Sociology.Cultural Studies.Established-Outsider Relationships.Field.Habitus.Literary Studies.Norbert Elias.Pierre Bourdieu.Political Activism.Power Asymmetries.Power Imbalances.Power Relations.Racism.Rap Music.Social Relations.Sociological Theory.Sociology of Literature.Symbolic Violence.Racism in literature.African AmericansPolitics and government.African AmericansHistory and criticism155.43HU 1728rvkBuschendorf ChristaKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2019: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996328039603316Power Relations in Black Lives2264618UNISA
