Am I Black Enough for You? by Todd Edward Boyd

Am I Black Enough for You? by Todd Edward Boyd

Explores race and class in mainstream representation of African American popular culture.

"With this book, Boyd has exponentially increased understanding of the cultural genesis and evolution of the "new" black aesthetics.. The language has an "in-your-face" tone, yet it exemplifies the best in scholarly discourse. From start to finish readers will be mesmerized by the "new jack" style." - Choice "From how rap music relates to politics and black masculinity to differences between folk and popular culture in the black community, this provides much food for thought." - Midwest Book Review "Boyd ... fuses academic analysis with hipness in his compassionate and insightful dissection of how the media, especially Hollywood, define African American culture ... Boyd, compelling and thought-provoking, reveals how paradoxical life is for African Americans, even those at the top of their game." - Booklist
