Representing: Hip Hop Culture and the Production of Black Cinema
by Watkins, S Craig
$29.70
Description
In this engaging and provocative book, S. Craig Watkins examines two of the most important developments in the recent history of black cinema-the ascendancy of Spike Lee and the proliferation of "ghettocentric films." Representing explores a distinct contradiction in American society: at the same time that black youth have become the targets of a fierce racial backlash, their popular expressive cultures have become highly visible and commercially viable.
"Watkins is at his most sophisticated and persuasive when he explains the surprising success of hyper-talented, entrepreneurial, and energetic black artists."-Archon Fung, Boston Book Review
