This multilayered study of the representation of black
masculinity in musical and cultural performance takes aim at the
reduction of African American male culture to stereotypes of
deviance, misogyny, and excess. Broadening the significance of
hip-hop culture by linking it to other expressive forms within
popular culture, Miles White examines how these representations
have both encouraged the demonization of young black males in the
United States and abroad and contributed to the construction of
their identities. "From Jim Crow to Jay-Z" traces black male
representations to chattel slavery and American minstrelsy as early
examples of fetishization and commodification of black male
subjectivity.Continuing with diverse discussions including black
action films, heavyweight prizefighting, Elvis Presley's
performance of blackness, and white rappers such as Vanilla Ice and
Eminem, White establishes a sophisticated framework for
interpreting and critiquing black masculinity in hip-hop music and
culture. Arguing that black music has undeniably shaped American
popular culture and that hip-hop tropes have exerted a defining
influence on young male aspirations and behavior, White draws a
critical link between the body, musical sound, and the construction
of identity.

This is an exact transcription of genealogical data in the oldest
Quaker records in Virginia, the so-called Chuckatuck Record. It is
mainly birth, marriage, and death records in Nansemond and Isle of
Wight counties, beginning in 1673, although a few entries relate to
events of an earlier date. The birth and death records provide the
usual names and dates, while the marriage records have the names of
the parties to the marriage, the date, parents' names, and the
lists of witnesses, many of whom were relatives of the bride and
groom.
