Boys, Boyz, Bois concerns questions of ethics, gender and race in
popular American images, national discourse and cultural production
by and about black men. The book 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 texts of analysis include recent films by black/African
American filmmakers, gangsta rap and hip-hop and black star
persona: texts ranging from Blaxploitation and New Black Cinema to
contemporary music video to autobiography and the public image of
Sidney Poitier. The book is a significant contribution to cultural
studies and gender studies and critical race theory. What is
distinctive about the book is the question of ethics as a question
of race and gender.
