"Expressively Black" aims to illustrate and illuminate the
expressive quality of the life and culture of Afro-Americans. This
new volume is a collection of essays exploring the different
aspects of the Black cultural experience, and includes chapters on
black style, kinship and family ties, communication, leadership,
music, religion, soul-mate, art, theatre, physical expressiveness,
and cultural continuation. It explicates the principle that Black
culture is, fundamentally, and oral and aural culture that can best
be seen, felt, understood, and appreciated through telling
experiential encounters. This text is designed and written to
immerse the reader into the inner dynamics of different dimensions
of the culture. Simultaneously, it provides some structural
frameworks and conceptual principles for comprehending these
dimensions within Black culture as a whole.
