{"product_id":"cultural-moves-herman-gray-9780520241442","title":"Cultural Moves: African Americans and the Politics of Representation Volume 15","description":"Herman Gray takes a sweeping look at black popular culture over the past decade to explore culture's role in the push for black political power and social recognition. In a series of linked essays, he finds that black artists, scholars, musicians, and others have been instrumental in reconfiguring social and cultural life in the United States and he provocatively asks how black culture can now move beyond a preoccupation with inclusion and representation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGray considers how Wynton Marsalis and his creation of a jazz canon at Lincoln Center acted to establish cultural visibility and legitimacy for jazz. Other essays address such topics as the work of the controversial artist Kara Walker; the relentless struggles for representation on network television when those networks are no longer the primary site of black or any other identity; and how black musicians such as Steve Coleman and George Lewis are using new technology to shape and extend black musical traditions and cultural identities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herman Gray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520241444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520241442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.04w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2005 pg. 76","brand":"Herman Gray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138402185471,"sku":"9780520241442","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12a1231a-dba2-4ae0-b91e-1e9302907ddd.jpg?v=1687899467","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cultural-moves-herman-gray-9780520241442","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
