This volume examines race, gender, and identity in African American
culture. As with previous volumes in the series, these collected
essays provide a social science and interdisciplinary framework for
the exploration of Africana cultural and social phenomena. The
contributors have adopted mixed methods and meta-theory tools of
analysis to describe and evaluate these issues from an
African-centered perspective. Kameelah Martin examines the role of
women in the films of Julie Dash and Kasi Lemmons. Toya Roberts
offers an experimental study of African American males at
predominantly white institutions of higher education. Rochelle
Brocks digs into the transition, transformation, and transcendence
of civil rights to the Black Arts/Black Power movements for social
change. Portia K. Maultsby provides an ethnographic study,
inspecting the genre of funk music in the United States. James L.
Conyers, Jr. analyzes the doctoral dissertation of W. E. B. Du
Bois, which cataloged the impact of colonialism on Africana
culture. Kesha Morant Williams and Ronald L. Jackson II examine the
impact of lupus on the identity of African American women. Ronald
Turner's essay examines black workers challenging racist practices
by their union representatives. Lisbeth Gant-Britton renders a
conceptual history of the hip-hop community, with emphasis on
international issues. This volume is an invaluable sourcebook for
those studying African American affairs, history, and cultural
studies.
