Book Description

This interdisciplinary and creative study examines how African American culture in presented in American films and other media, and is a provocative re-reading of the historiography of black culture. The author examines a number of cultural texts deriving memory as interpreted by Freud and by Franz Fanon mixed with Black Liberation Theology and even some Islamic mysticism, shedding new interpretive light on known and less-known texts. The book will appeal to scholars of the black diaspora, media studies, literature, and acculturation and identity politics.
