Elam, Jr. 330 $aA shrewdly designed, generously expansive, timely contribution to our understanding of how 'black' expression continues to define and defy the contours of global (post)modernity. The essays argue persuasively for a transnational ethos binding disparate African and diasporic enactments, and together provide a robust conversation about the nature, history, future, and even possibility of 'blackness' as a distinctive mode of cultural practice. --Kimberly Benston, author of Performing Blackness Black Cultural Traffic is nothing less than our generation's manifesto on black performance and popular culture. With a distinguished roster of contributors and topics ranging across academic disciplines and the arts (including commentary on film, music, literature, theater, television, and visual cultures), this volume is not only required reading for scholars serious about the various dimensions of black performance, it is also a timely and necessary teaching tool. It captures the excitement and intellectual innovation of a field that has come of age. Kudos! --Dwight A. McBride, author of Why I Hate Abercrombie & Fitch The explosion of interest in black popular culture studies in the past fifteen years has left a significant need for a reader that reflects this new scholarly energy. Black Cultural Traffic answers that need. --Mark Anthony Neal, author of Songs in the Key of Black Life A revolutionary anthology that will be widely read and taught. It crisscrosses continents and cultures and examines confluences and influences of black popular culture -- music, dance, theatre, television, fashion and film. It also adds a new dimension to current discussions of racial, ethnic, and national identity. --Horace Porter, author of The Making of a Black Scholar 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 606 $aBlack people$xRace identity 606 $aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aBlack people$xIntellectual life 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aAfrican American arts 606 $aArts, Black 606 $aPerforming arts$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPerforming arts$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aBlack people$xRace identity. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aBlack people$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aPopular culture 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aAfrican American arts. 615 0$aArts, Black. 615 0$aPerforming arts$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPerforming arts$xSocial aspects. 676 $a305.896/073/09051 701 $aElam$b Harry Justin$0917447 701 $aJackson$b Kennell A$01845916 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966450103321 996 $aBlack cultural traffic$94429792 997 $aUNINA
