In this engaging and provocative book, S. Craig Watkins examines
two of the most important developments in the recent history of
black cinema--the ascendancy of Spike Lee and the proliferation of
"ghettocentric films." "Representing" explores a distinct
contradiction in American society: at the same time that black
youth have become the targets of a fierce racial backlash, their
popular expressive cultures have become highly visible and
commercially viable.
"Watkins is at his most sophisticated and persuasive when he
explains the surprising success of hyper-talented, entrepreneurial,
and energetic black artists."--Archon Fung, "Boston Book
