This book explores Black identity, from a global perspective. The
historical and contemporary migrations of African peoples have
brought up some interesting questions regarding identity. This text
examines some of those questions, and will provide relevant essays
on the identities created by those migrations. Following a regional
contextualizing of migration trends, the personal essays with allow
for understandings of how those migrations impacted personal and
community identities. Each of the personal essays will be written
by bicultural Africans/Blacks from around the world. The essays
represent a wide spectrum of experiences and viewpoints central to
the bicultural Africans/Black experience. The contributors offer
poignant and grounded perspectives on the diverse ways race,
ethnicity, and culture are experienced, debated, and represented.
All of the chapters contribute more broadly to writings on dual
identities, and the various ways bicultural Africans/Blacks
navigate their identities and their places in African and Diaspora
communities.
In this book, Yelena Bailey examines the creation of ""the
streets"" not just as a physical, racialized space produced by
segregationist policies but also as a sociocultural entity that has
influenced our understanding of blackness in America for decades.
Drawing from fields such as media studies, literary studies,
history, sociology, film studies, and music studies, this book
engages in an interdisciplinary analysis of the how the streets
have shaped contemporary perceptions of black identity, community,
violence, spending habits, and belonging. Where historical and
sociological research has examined these realities regarding
economic and social disparities, this book analyzes the streets
through the lens of marketing campaigns, literature, hip-hop, film,
and television in order to better understand the cultural meanings
associated with the streets. Because these media represent a
terrain of cultural contestation, they illustrate the way the
meaning of the streets has been shaped by both the white and black
imaginaries as well as how they have served as a site of
self-assertion and determination for black communities.
