Stephen C. Ferguson II provides a philosophical examination of
Black popular culture for the first time. From extensive discussion
of the philosophy and political economy of Hip-Hop music through to
a developed exploration of the influence of the
postmodernism-poststructuralist ideology on African American
studies, he argues how postmodernism ideology plays a seminal role
in justifying the relationship between corporate capitalism and
Black popular culture. Chapters cover topics such as cultural
populism, capitalism and Black liberation, the philosophy of
Hip-Hop music, and Harold Cruse’s influence on the “cultural
turn” in African American studies. Ferguson combines case studies
of past and contemporary Black cultural and intellectual
productions with a Marxist ideological critique to provide a
cutting edge reflection on the economic structure in which Black
popular culture emerged. He highlights the contradictions that are
central to the juxtaposition of Black cultural artists as political
participants in socioeconomic struggle and the political
participants who perform the rigorous task of social criticism.
Adopting capitalism as an explanatory framework, Ferguson
investigates the relationship between postmodernism as social
theory, current manifestations of Black popular culture, and the
theoretical work of Black thinkers and scholars to demonstrate how
African American studies have been shaped.
