This book looks at the misappropriation of African American popular
culture through various genres. Hip-hop, the current most dominant
African American popular culture creation, serves as the
underpinning for the core areas of this book which delineates
music, dance, television and film, sports, technology, fashion,
sexuality, and religion. However, Soul Thieves is a historically
inclusive documentation of the misappropriation of black popular
culture, thus spanning other areas and genres besides the current
craze. Perhaps the most daring and unique charge here is that most
African American cultural creations have the inherent potential to
be healing agents, and while many whites acknowledge these
potential curative inclinations, they exploit the art for
commercial purposes and to maintain and expand white ruling class
hegemony over the black and white masses. However, Soul Thieves
moves beyond victimization to analyze the roles that some African
Americans play in the exploitation of African American popular
culture.
