{"product_id":"rhetorical-crossover-cedric-d-burrows-9780822946205","title":"Rhetorical Crossover: The Black Presence in White Culture","description":"In music, crossover means that a song has moved beyond its original genre and audience into the general social consciousness. \u003ci\u003eRhetorical Crossover \u003c\/i\u003euses the same concept to theorize how the black rhetorical presence has moved in mainstream spaces in an era where African Americans were becoming more visible in white culture. Cedric Burrows argues that when black rhetoric moves into the dominant culture, white audiences appear welcoming to African Americans as long as they present an acceptable form of blackness for white tastes. The predominant culture has always constructed coded narratives on how the black rhetorical presence should appear and behave when in majority spaces. In response, African Americans developed their own narratives that revise and reinvent mainstream narratives while also reaffirming their humanity. Using an interdisciplinary model built from music, education, film, and social movement studies, \u003ci\u003eRhetorical Crossover\u003c\/i\u003e details the dueling narratives about African Americans that percolate throughout the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cedric Burrows\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822946203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822946205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Cedric Burrows","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990791684351,"sku":"9780822946205","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49e099d4-0b24-4e4c-b911-a2d7c9dfd702.jpg?v=1683306708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rhetorical-crossover-cedric-d-burrows-9780822946205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
