The advent of the internet and the availability of social media and
digital downloads have expanded the creation, distribution, and
consumption of Black cultural production as never before. At the
same time, a new generation of Black public intellectuals who speak
to the relationship between race, politics, and popular culture has
come into national prominence. The contributors to Are You
Entertained? address these trends to consider what culture and
blackness mean in the twenty-first century's digital consumer
economy. In this collection of essays, interviews, visual art, and
an artist statement the contributors examine a range of topics and
issues, from music, white consumerism, cartoons, and the rise of
Black Twitter to the NBA's dress code, dance, and Moonlight.
Analyzing the myriad ways in which people perform, avow,
politicize, own, and love blackness, this volume charts the
shifting debates in Black popular culture scholarship over the past
quarter century while offering new avenues for future scholarship.
