Such popular representations are pervasive and often portray Black adolescents? consumer and leisure culture as corruptive, uncivilized, and pathological. In She?s Mad Real, Oneka LaBennett draws on over a decade of researching teenage West Indian girls in the Flatbush and Crown Heights sections of Brooklyn to argue that Black youth are in fact strategic consumers of popular culture and through this consumption they assert far more agency in defining race, ethnicity, and gender than academic and popular discourses tend to acknowledge. Importantly, LaBennett also studies West Indian girls? consumer and leisure culture within public spaces in order to analyze how teens like China are marginalized and policed as they attempt to carve out places for themselves within New York?s contested terrains. 606 $aAfrican American girls$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aMinority youth$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aWest Indians$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xSocial life and customs 606 $aConsumer behavior$zNew York (State)$zNew York 607 $aBrooklyn (New York, N.Y.) 615 0$aAfrican American girls 615 0$aMinority youth 615 0$aWest Indians$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aConsumer behavior 676 $a305.235/20899697290747275 700 $aLaBennett$b Oneka$01638450 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821932303321 996 $aShe?s Mad Real$94071979 997 $aUNINA
