- Summary:
- Japtok and Jenkins (both English and Multicultural studies, Palomar College, CA) present this collection of essays exploring the concept of authentic blackness and its relationship with literature and culture. In our current world of commoditized identity, "real" blackness has become increasingly difficult to define. This book responds to the current trends of commercial authenticity, offering fresh perspectives on the meaning of blackness, culture, and race in our economically globalized society. This book is intended for those engaged in multicultural and Black studies. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
