Boys, Boyz, Bois - An Ethics of Black Masculinity in Film and Popular Media (Hardcover, annotated edition)

Examining texts ranging from Blaxploitation to New Black Cinema, and contemporary music video to autobiography and the public image of Sidney Poitier, Boys, Boyz, Boies studies the questions of ethics, gender and race in popular American images, national discourse and cultural production by and about black men. Distinctive in his analysis of ethics as a question of race and gender, Keith M. Harris proposes an ethics of masculinity, as ethnics refers to a system of morality and valuation and as ethics refers to a care of the self and ethical subject formation. The material studied include recent films by black/African American filmmakers, gansta rap and hip-hop and black star persona. Boys, Boyz, Boies is a significant contribution to cultural studies and gender studies and critical race theory, and any student of such would benefit from making it a priority read.
