No other word in the English language is more endemic to
contemporary Black American culture and identity than "Soul." Since
the 1960s Soul has been frequently used to market and sell music,
food, and fashion. However, Soul also refers to a pervasive belief
in the capacity of the Black body/spirit to endure the most trying
of times in an ongoing struggle for freedom and equality. While
some attention has been given to various genre manifestations of
Soul-as in Soul music and food-no book has yet fully explored the
discursive terrain signified by the term. In this broad-ranging,
free-spirited book, a diverse group of writers, artists, and
scholars reflect on the ubiquitous but elusive concept of Soul.
Topics include: politics and fashion, Blaxploitation films,
language, literature, dance, James Brown, and Schoolhouse Rock.
Among the contributors are Angela Davis, Manning Marable, Paul
Gilroy, Lyle Ashton Harris, Michelle Wallace, Ishmael Reed, Greg
Tate, Manthia Diawara, and dream hampton.
