The Uprising: Call to Black Male Scholars. 330 $aThis book is a study of black masculinity in the twenty-first century. Through a series of critical and interdisciplinary essays, this work examines the image of the black male in American society as a Toby Waller stereotype. Toby Waller is the fictional, yet symbolic character from Alex Haley?s highly acclaimed book and mini-series, Roots. It is a richly detailed, fictional story about slavery and one enslaved African man?s struggle to regain freedom. The parallel of the life of enslaved Toby Waller is similar to present day black males. Both are individuals who are often stripped of their cultural identity and exist within an institutional and systemic framework that devalues black male life. This dichotomy is the historical platform to discuss how those in the annals of white America demarcate which embodiment merits inclusion into societal acceptance. 606 $aRace 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aHuman Geography 615 0$aRace. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 676 $a305.38896073 700 $aHoston$b William T$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058300 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253306703321 996 $aRace and the Black Male Subculture$92498813 997 $aUNINA
