Authentic Blackness - "Real" Blackness explores and explains the
idea of authenticity, of "keeping it real," as it relates to the
multi-faceted meanings of blackness in the United States and the
world. Including reflections on hip-hop, comedy, literature,
intellectual history, and autobiography, the collection gives both
a broad overview of and intervenes in the debates concerning
blackness. A comprehensive introductory essay outlines the history
of the idea of "authentic blackness," while other chapters examine
the contours of blackness in Canada and Jamaica; the relationship
between middle-class status and "real" blackness; the link between
"blackness" and hip-hop culture; Dave Chappelle's comedy; and the
work of James Baldwin, Countee Cullen, Clarence Major, and John
Edgar Wideman as it comments on authenticity in relation to race.
