Black Cultural Traffic: Crossroads in Global Performance and Popular Culture edited by Harry J. Elam and Kendall Jackson

“Black Cultural Traffic is nothing less than our generation’s manifesto on black performance and popular culture. With a distinguished roster of contributors and topics ranging across academic disciplines and the arts (including commentary on film, music, literature, theater, television, and visual cultures), this volume is not only required reading for scholars serious about the various dimensions of black performance, it is also a timely and necessary teaching tool. It captures the excitement and intellectual innovation of a field that has come of age.” — Dwight A. McBride, author of Why I Hate Abercrombie & Fitch: Essays On Race and Sexuality
