Real Black by John L Jackson Jr
Authenticity is considered the best way to distinguish the real from the phony, the genuine from the fake. The author proposes a new model for thinking about these issues - racial sincerity. This book offers a kaleidoscope of subjects and stories that directly and indirectly address how race is negotiated in today's world.
"Expertly weaving theory with analysis, Jackson discovers that identities built around race and class in the quintessential black American neighborhood are far less monolithic than even Harlem residents believe" - Publishers Weekly "Jackson convincingly makes the case that precisely because race and class can be 'done to people,' his behavioural model is 'the only real grounding on which hierarchical notions of race in the United States can ultimately stand.' " - Mireille A. L. Djenno, Times Literary Supplement"
John L. Jackson Jr. is assistant professor of cultural anthropology and African and African American Studies at Duke University. He is the author of Harlem-world: Doing Race and Class in Contemporary Black America, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
