A timely exploration of Oscar-nominated Black actors and the
complicated legacy of the Academy Awards. In Black Oscars: From
Mammy to Minny, What the Academy Awards Tell Us about African
Americans, Frederick W. Gooding Jr. draws on American, African
American, and film history to reflect on how the Oscars have
recognized Black actors from the award's inception to the present.
Starting in the 1920s, the chapters provide a thorough overview and
analysis of Black actors nominated for their Hollywood roles during
each decade, with special attention paid to the winners. Historical
patterns are scrutinized to reveal racial trends and open the
question of whether race relations have truly changed substantively
or only superficially over time. Given the Oscars' presence and
popularity, it begs the question of what these awards reflect and
reinforce about larger society. In the meticulously-researched
Black Oscars, we see how the Academy Awards are an indispensable
guide to understanding race in mainstream Hollywood and beyond.

Although Hip Hop is known to come from the streets of South Bronx,
New York, its origins go far deeper than that. Unconsciously, the
innovative souls of the 1970s Hip Hop movement demonstrated the
captivating, vibrational sound of the five regions in Africa;
Northern Africa, Western Africa, Eastern Africa, Central Africa,
and Southern Africa. Thus, The Griot Tradition as Remixed through
Hip Hop: Straight Outta Africa fleshes out the common threads of
Hip Hop’s creative genius across the African diaspora and
provides an analytical rubric as a guide to a greater understanding
of Hip Hop. The author, Frederick Gooding, examines why Hip Hop
holds such an important place within contemporary culture in order
to determine how a genre that was so controversial and marginal
could become mainstream and central. Through the use of various
genres, artists, styles, sounds, images, and rhetorical techniques,
Gooding analyzes how Hip Hop, when seen through the lens of African
connection, can be appreciated for its regenerative and connective
power to create relationships between people both nationally and
internationally.
